Safe mode is a diagnostic mode of a computer operating system that starts the system with a minimal set of drivers and services. This allows the user to troubleshoot problems that may be caused by faulty drivers or software. Safe mode can also be used to remove malware or viruses that may have infected the system.
Safe mode is typically accessed by pressing a specific key or combination of keys during the boot process. The key that is used to access safe mode varies depending on the operating system. For example, in Windows, the F8 key is typically used to access safe mode.
