How to Start Windows 10 in Safe Mode

Access Safe Mode in Windows 10. Another way to access Safe Mode is to press and hold the “Shift” key, and then click on the “Restart” button in the power menu to restart the PC. This will restart the PC and show you the boot options. You can then go to “Troubleshoot - Advanced options - Startup Settings - Restart” to restart Windows 10.

Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC. For example, if the problem doesn't happen in safe mode, you'll know default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue.
There are three different safe mode options:

• Enable Safe Mode: Starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and services.
• Enable Safe Mode with Networking: Starts Windows in safe mode and includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.
• Enable Safe Mode with Command Prompt: Starts Windows in safe mode with a Command Prompt window instead of the usual Windows interface. This option is intended for IT pros and system admins.

When you boot to Safe Mode, you will only be able to sign in with your password, and not with any other sign-in option (ex: Fingerprint or PIN).
You will not be able to open Windows apps while in Safe Mode.

Windows 10 Safe Mode From Command Prompt

Windows 10 inherited the boot options from Windows 8 and comes with the same graphical environment for various recovery related tasks. Due to this, the Safe mode is hidden by default in favor of the automatic repair engine shipped with the new OS. If Windows 10 fails to boot, it starts the automatic repair mode and tries to analyze and fix startup problems on its own without your help and without asking you what actions it is going to take. If you feel you need to run Windows 10 in Safe mode, e.g. to troubleshoot some issue with drivers and apps, here are instructions on how you can access Safe Mode.
