Advanced startup options (including safe mode)

The Advanced Boot Options screen lets you start Windows in advanced troubleshooting modes. You can access the menu by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts.

Some options, such as safe mode, start Windows in a limited state, where only the bare essentials are started. If a problem doesn’t reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic device drivers and services as possible causes. Other options start Windows with advanced features intended for use by system administrators and IT professionals. For more information, go to the Microsoft website for IT professionals.

Repair Your Computer

Windows: как перейти в безопасный режим?

Приветствую Вас, уважаемые читатели! В настоящее время на большинстве настольных ПК и ноутбуках установлена операционная система Windows. И наверняка многие из Вас сталкивались с проблемой, что она (Windows) не загружается. Но не все знают, что решить проблему загрузки операционной системы можно в безопасном режиме. Сегодня мы и поговорим о том как загрузиться в безопасном режиме и что это вообще за такой режим.

Что такое безопасный режим

Безопасный режим в Windows (Safe Mode) — это специальный режим работы системы, который служит для устранения неполадок, вызванных некорректной работной программных и аппаратных ресурсов персонального компьютера (ПК). В безопасном режиме Windows загружает минимальный набор драйверов устройств и системных служб.

Поэтому всякий раз, когда у вас не получается загрузить Windows в следствии заражения компьютерными вирусами или после установки нового драйвера и программного обеспечения, то вы всегда можете загрузить ПК в безопасном режиме и устранить неисправности. Загрузившись в Safe Mode у вас появится возможность просканировать компьютер на наличие вирусов, удалить драйвер или программу после установки которых Windows перестала загружаться, либо вообще выполнить откат системы. Обычно этих действий хватает для восстановления работоспособности операционной системы. Кстати о том как удалять программы в безопасном режиме вы можете почитать в этом посте.

Как загрузить Windows 7 в безопасном режиме

Чтобы загрузить систему в безопасном режиме достаточно несколько раз нажать клавишу F8 при загрузке компьютера. В случае успеха на экране появится меню выбора вариантов загрузки:

Примечание: на некоторых компьютерах если при загрузке нажать клавишу F8 может появиться меню выбора устройства с которого производить загрузку. В этом случае выбираете нужный жесткий диск на котором установлена операционная система, нажимаете Enter и продолжаете нажимать F8. После этого появиться экран с меню выбора дополнительных вариантов загрузки.

В меню выбора способов загрузки есть несколько вариантов:

Безопасный режим (Safe Mode) — загрузка операционной системы Windows только с основными драйверами и службами необходимыми для запуска системы.

Далее с помощью клавиш со стрелками выбираете «Безопасный режим» и нажимаете клавишу «Enter». В случае необходимости можно выбрать «Безопасный режим с поддержкой командной строки» или «Безопасный режим с загрузкой сетевых драйверов» и также нажать «Enter».

После этого система загрузиться в безопасном режиме — с черным фоном рабочего стола и надписью «Безопасный режим» в углах экрана. Далее проводите необходимые операции: делаете откат системы, удаляете конфликтные драйверы или программы и другие действия.

На этом все! До новых встреч на страницах блога.

What is Safe Mode in Windows? What are the different types of Safe Mode?

In this post, we will see what is Safe Mode in Windows and what are the different types of Safe Mode – like Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking & Safe Mode with Command Prompt and what they mean.

Most Windows users may be familiar with the Safe Mode, as it is often required when you need to diagnose or troubleshoot Windows problems. We have already see how to start Windows 10 in Safe Mode and how to directly reboot Windows in Safe Mode. Now let us take a look at what Safe Mode means and the types of safe Mode that Windows OS offers.

Safe Mode in Windows 10

When you start Windows in Safe Mode, the operating system only loads those minimum set of Drivers, files, and applications that are required for it to load.

There are three different types of Safe Mode:

1. Safe Mode
2. Safe Mode with Networking
3. Safe Mode with Command Prompt

Let us take a look at these three in details.

Safe Mode

When you boot in Safe Mode – the very basic configuration is loaded. You boot into a black desktop, and you may find that your fonts and icons look big and are not sharp. This is because only the very basic drivers are loaded. You will have access to your Start Menu, as well as Mouse and Keyboard, and you will also be able to access your files. You will also see Safe Mode written on all four corners and your Windows version number in the top center. If you wish to use System Restore or run your antivirus scan to remove malware, which is often the case with most home users, this is the best mode to boot into. Apart from this function you also get access to other built-in Windows tools, like Command Prompt, PowerShell, Computer Manager, Device Manager, Event Log Viewer, etc.

TIP: You can add Safe Mode to Boot Menu options in Windows 10.

Safe Mode with Networking

When you boot in Safe Mode with Networking, you are taken to your desktop. One extra set of drivers – and those are the networking drivers that get loaded. This allows you to connect the computer to your network or the Internet. It is recommended that one not surf the web in Safe Mode as your system is in a vulnerable and unprotected state.

Safe Mode with Command Prompt

When you boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt, you do not boot in the Windows GUI. You are directly given access to an open Command Prompt window. Since you do not get access to your desktop and start menu, usually only experts who need to carry out some advanced troubleshooting use this mode.

Hope this answers your questions about the Safe Mode in Windows OS.

Как войти в безопасный режим Windows из командной строки

На днях восстанавливал ноутбук с Windows 7 у которого варианта загрузки в безопасном режиме по клавише F8 не было вовсе. То есть можно было выбрать либо обычную загрузку, либо запуск центра восстановления. Честно говоря, для «семёрки» такое не свойственно, это вам не Windows 10.

Полагаю, вам будет интересно узнать как вернуть привычные дополнительные варианты загрузки с помощью командной строки. Данный способ подходит для всех версий операционной системы, вплоть до актуальной на сегодняшний день Windows 10.

Загрузившись в режиме восстановления Windows, запускаем командную строку:

Если у вас система грузится нормально, но вы хотите принудительно при следующей загрузке вызвать меню загрузки в безопасном режиме, то запускать командную строку следует от имени Администратора.

В открывшейся командной строке выполняем следующую команду:

После чего перезагружаем компьютер и видим знакомый экран с вариантами запуска в безопасном режиме.

Чтобы вернуть всё назад и отключить выбор параметров загрузки при каждом запуске, удаляем выставленный предыдущей командой параметр:

или можно в качестве последнего аргумента вместо true написать слово false :

How to Start Windows 10 in Safe Mode with Command Prompt

Windows Safe Mode with Command Prompt is a special startup mode that allows you to access Windows in a stripped down session where many drivers are not loaded, there is no networking, and the desktop is not loaded. From this mode, you can perform fixes, diagnostics, or any other task that you could normally do from a command prompt.

This mode is especially useful when you are trying to remove a computer infection that loads their own program instead of the normal desktop. Using the Windows Safe Mode with Command Prompt you can start Windows before the malware is loaded and then easily remove it.

Unfortunately, in order to increase the boot speed of Windows 10, Microsoft sacrificed easy access to Windows Safe Mode. Now instead of pressing F8 to access Safe Mode, like you did in prior operating systems, you have to go through a variety of steps in order to startup in Safe Mode. These steps are outlined below.

How to Start Windows 10 in Safe Mode with Command Prompt

The easiest way to begin the process of booting into Safe Mode with Command Prompt is from the Windows 10 login screen. To access this screen, you can either log out, reboot your computer, or press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys a the same time.

Once you are at the Windows 10 sign-in screen, you should hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and not let it go. While holding down the Shift key, click on the Power button ( ) and then click on Restart.

When Windows 10 restarts, you will be at the Choose an Option screen as shown below.

At the above screen click on the Troubleshooting button to access the Troubleshoot options screen.

At the above screen, now click on the Advanced Options button to access the Advanced Options screen as shown below.

At the above screen, click on the Startup Settings option and you will now be presented with the Startup Settings screen.

At the above screen, click on the Restart button. Windows will now begin to start, but you will be presented with a screen, as shown below, that provides various options you can select to specify how Windows should be started.

At this screen you should press the number 6 key on your keyboard to enter Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

Windows 10 will now boot and you will be presented with the normal login prompt. Enter your password, and you will be brought directly to a Windows Command Prompt rather than the normal Windows desktop as shown below.

From this prompt you can enter commands that you wish to execute and they will run directly from the command prompt. You can also start programs like the Registry Editor (regedit.exe), Task Manager (taskmgr.exe), or the Windows Explorer by typing Explorer.exe and pressing enter.

When you are ready to reboot back into normal mode, once again press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to access the security screen and then shutdown or restart your computer from the power button.

What should I do if I can’t access the login screen?

If you attempt to start Windows and it is unable to properly start, after a few attempts Windows will display a recovery screen similar to the one below.

At this point, you should follow the steps from this point. Doing so will allow you to access the Safe Mode selection screen without first booting into Windows and accessing the login screen.
