For Windows operating system security mode, it is certainly not unfamiliar to friends who often use computers. Security mode is a dedicated mode for Windows to fix operating system errors, it is a minimum system environment that does not load any drivers. You can use the safe mode to start your computer, so that you can troubleshoot the problem and fix the error. This helps you to explain the meaning of the safe mode.
To enter safe mode, start the computer and press F8 before the system enters the Windows Startup screen (or press Ctrl when the computer is started ), select "Safe Mode" in the menu that appears to start the computer in Safe Mode. So what are the purposes of the security mode? Next let's take a look at it.
1. Repair System Faults
If Windows is not stable or cannot be started properly, do not reinstall the system. restart the computer and switch to safe mode. Then restart the computer, has the system recovered to normal? This method is very effective for system faults caused by registry problems, because Windows can automatically fix registry problems when started in safe mode. After Windows is started successfully in safe mode, generally, it can be started in Normal mode.
2. Restore system settings
If the user fails to start the system properly after installing new software or changing some settings, you also need to go to security mode. If the user is caused by the installation of new software, uninstall the software in safe mode. If some settings have been changed, for example, the display resolution setting is beyond the display range of the monitor, resulting in a black screen, you can change it back after entering safe mode, in addition, you can place the Screen Saver with a password in the "Start" menu. If you forget the password, the computer cannot be operated normally, or you can change it in security mode.
3. Delete stubborn files
When we delete some files in Windows or clear the recycle bin content, the system sometimes prompts "a certain file is being used and cannot be deleted". Interestingly, normally these files are not in use. Is it true that these files will occupy our hard disk forever? Please do not worry, restart the computer, press F8 at startup to enter safe mode, try to delete those stubborn files and clear the recycle bin to see, no more! It turns out that Windows has abandoned protection for these files and can delete them.
4. Completely clear viruses
Today, the virus is more than a day, and anti-virus software is updated every day. However, in normal Windows mode, sometimes the virus cannot be completely cleared, because they are very likely to be cross-infected, and some anti-virus programs cannot run in DOS, at this time, of course, we can also start the system to the safe mode, so that Windows only loads the most basic driver, so that the virus will be more thorough and clean.
5. disk fragmentation
In the process of fragment, other programs cannot be run, because the fragment program automatically restarts every time other programs perform disk read/write operations, generally, when Windows is started normally, the system will load some automatically started programs. Sometimes, these programs are not easy to be manually closed, which often causes interference to the fragment program. In this case, we should restart the computer and enter the safe mode. The safe mode will not start any automatic Startup Program, which can ensure smooth disk fragmentation.
