Windows 10 is one of the smoothest operating systems of Microsoft. It has so many handy features and that is the reason why more than 70 million people are using right now. Although, Microsoft have made a huge change into Windows 10 to make it better and better, yet, some core features or old features are still available in Windows 10. For instance, the safe mode.

What is Safe Mode?

Safe Mode is a simple term to describe a particular thing of Microsoft Windows. If you know what it is, that’s fine. If you do not know what it is, let me explain. Safe Mode is such a mode of Windows that helps users to detect the problems related to software, system file or anything else. You can troubleshoot near to any kind of problem from Safe Mode.

There are different modes under the usual Safe Mode. You cam boot your PC without any third party software or system settings changes. In this mode you will not be able access internet, use software or do anything so that you can detect actual problem. (There are different method to do so)

In the other Safe Mode, you can boot your PC with networking support, which will help you to access internet and do some other additional tasks. In another version of Safe Mode, users can use Command Prompt and more other things.

However, by default, there is no Safe Mode in Windows 10. Yes, Microsoft have included it into Windows 10 but that is not enabled. You have to enable it after installing Windows 10. Otherwise, you can get problems during troubleshoot.

Important Note: To enable Safe Mode in Windows 10, you have to perform a few couple of steps and you have to restart your PC. Therefore, this is recommended to write down the following steps in your notebook or open this same page on your mobile or another PC. Otherwise, if you try to remember it, there is a high chance that you can forget. This is just a precaution.
