Win8 system security mode and system performance skills

Starting Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a very important part of Windows systems. We often solve problems by entering Safe Mode when there is a problem with the system, or by deleting stubborn files. However, in Win8, many users found that F8 can no longer boot into safe mode. This is not to say that Microsoft has canceled the security mode, and we can enter it in another way.

First, we will slide the mouse to the lower right corner of the screen to bring up the Charm column, and then select search. Type “msconfig” in the search box so that we can search out the msconfig.exe program and click on it.

After searching msconfig.exe
we can see the system configuration window, then select the “boot” tab. Under the tab we check "Safe Boot", so that the next time we reboot the system, we will go directly to safe mode.
We will also find options such as "Minimum" and "Other Shells", these are the safe mode specific modes. The “minimum” is a standard security mode, “network” is a secure mode that allows network connections, and “other shells” is a secure mode with a command prompt. In general, we all choose the "minimum" or "network" mode.

Selecting Secure Boots
It is also important to note that if you want to reboot into normal Windows 8 after using Safe Mode, you will need to perform the same steps in Safe Mode. In the system configuration, "secure boot" will be canceled, otherwise it will still enter safe mode after restart.
System Performance Management
In the previous paragraph, we said how to enter the Win8 security mode to troubleshoot the system, this is nothing more than to make the system run better. But compared to cleaning up after a failure, we recommend that you pay attention to the performance and health of the system.
First, slide the mouse to the lower right corner of the screen to bring up the Charm bar, then select Settings and select “Computer Information”. At the bottom left of the "System" window, we are able to see the options for "performance information and tools".

Selecting performance information and tools
This way we enter the performance management interface, where we can rate our system, but mainly about the hardware. What we have to do is to select the "Advanced Tools" on the left.
Here we can see a lot of performance management tools, including "Open Performance Monitor", "Open Resource Monitor" and "Adjust Windows Look and Performance" and so on.

Advanced Tools
In the process of generating system health reports, we can obtain the status of the current system in more complete and detailed manner, and can solve the problems in the current system according to it.

At the same time, we also recommend that the disk be sorted out in a timely manner through the "Disk Defragmenter". We can set it every day, week or in the "Change Settings" setting. Automatically optimize the disk once a month.
