What Is Safe Mode?

It is simply a debugging mode for your computer. If you’re running Windows 10 in safe mode because your hardware drivers are unstable and causing you to see the blue screen of death, or if your computer has been infected with malware, this mode allows you to start up your computer and diagnose the source of the problem. In certain circumstances, it may be the only method to get your computer to boot up without having to reinstall Windows.

Why? Because when you start Windows 10 in safe mode, startup applications and other services that are configured to start on startup aren’t started, hardware support is minimized, screen resolution is reduced, and no third-party software or drivers are enabled, this is the recommended method. In safe mode, you may restore drivers to their previous versions, examine system logs, and uninstall applications that may be creating problems.

How to Exit Safe Mode on Windows 10

Restarting your Windows computer will allow you to exit safe mode without any additional steps. This may be accomplished by selecting “Start” from the “Start” menu in the bottom-left corner of the screen, then “Power” and finally “Restart.”

There are alternative options for restarting your computer, such as by using the command shutdown /r from the Command Prompt window. Regardless of the option you use, you’ll be requested to restart your computer and start Windows 10 as normal.

You may also restart normally without having to go through the prompts. To do so, hit the Windows key and the R key simultaneously to bring up the “Run” window. Once the window is open, type “msconfig” in the text box next to “Open” and click “OK.” Once the window is closed, click “OK.”

In the pop-up box that displays, select the “Boot” tab.

In the “Boot Options” section, uncheck the box next to “Safe Boot” and click “OK.” That’s all.

When you restart your computer, you will no longer be interrupted by the prompt.
