Tips for users: how to log in to safe mode in the system

Every PC user should be able or at least know how to enter into a safe mode in his computer or laptop. And if you do not already have such knowledge and skills, then be sure to read the article to the end. After all, at any time there may be problems, for example, a malfunction in the PC or infection of the system with a virus.

Running in safe mode - what is it?

Safe mode is one that allows you to perform diagnostics of the Windows operating system. Using it, you can identify and fix any errors that were caused by a malfunction of the computer's hardware or software.

How to enter through safe mode. Action

Absolutely on all versions of the Windows operating system, in order to start this mode, you need to do the following:

1. Make sure that the drive is empty. If it is not, then remove all the disks from it.
2. Restart the computer: Start menu, then "Shutdown" and "Restart".
3. Before the Windows logo appears on the monitor, quickly press the "F8" key.
4. If you have done everything right, you will see a black screen where several different download options will be listed in white font. Use the up / down arrows to select "Safe Mode", and then press the "Enter" key.
5. Login to the operating system with Administrator rights.

Keep in mind: the safe mode will look pretty simple, without any bells and whistles. And all because many functions are automatically disabled here. It's not scary, because after you reboot your computer or laptop, everything will fall into place and return to your usual view.

How to enter in safe mode if all attempts are blocked by the virus

If the first method described above did not yield any results, then try the following:

1. Restart the computer and press the "F8" key until Windows appears on the screen.
2. From the suggested list of input options that appear on the monitor, select "Safe mode with command line support."
3. Type "Regedit" on the keyboard with Latin letters. This command is responsible for accessing the system registry.
4. Look at the extra entries and find the errors.
5. Bring everything back to its original form - remove and correct all the shortcomings.
6. Run the anti-virus program and use it to destroy all infected objects.

The second way how to enter in a safe mode, as a rule, can only use "advanced" PC users who have already worked with the registry more than once. After all, inexperienced can inadvertently remove something important. And this often affects poorly the operation of the operating system - it can stop running. And in this case, reinstalling Windows will be inevitable.
