The use of Windows system "safe mode"

Security mode is a special mode in the Windows operating system. Friends who use computers frequently will not be unfamiliar. In safe mode, users can easily fix some errors in the system and achieve twice the result with half the effort. Safe mode works by starting the computer without loading third-party device drivers, allowing the computer to run in the system's minimum mode, so that users can easily detect and repair computer system errors. So what is the use of security mode?

After the computer has finished loading the BIOS, press the F8 key quickly and select "Safe Mode" from the Windows XP Advanced Options menu that appears.

1. Fix system failure

If Windows is not stable or does not start properly, don't worry about installing the system first, try restarting the computer and switching to safe mode. After restarting the computer, has the system been restored? If the system is faulty due to a problem with the registry, this method is very effective, because Windows can automatically repair the registry problem when it starts in safe mode. After booting Windows in safe mode, it can generally be in normal mode (Normal) )Started

2.Restore System Settings

If the user is installing new software or changing some settings, the system will not start properly and you need to enter safe mode. Solution, if it is caused by installing new software, please uninstall the software in safe mode. If some settings are changed, such as the display resolution setting is beyond the display range of the display, resulting in a black screen, you can change after entering safe mode. Back, there is also a screen saver with a password placed in the "Startup" menu, forget the password, the computer can not operate properly, you can also enter the safe mode change

3. Delete stubborn files

When we delete some files under Windows or clear the contents of the recycle bin, the system sometimes prompts "some file The words are being used, can't be deleted. What's interesting is that usually these files are not being used, so is it necessary to let these files occupy our hard disk forever? Please don't worry, restart your computer, and press F8 to enter safe mode at startup, try to delete those stubborn files and empty the recycle bin to see it, no more! It turns out that Windows has given up the protection of these files, you can delete them

4. Thoroughly remove the virus

Now the virus is more than one day, the anti-virus software is updated every day. However, in Windows normal mode, sometimes it is not possible to clean the virus cleanly and thoroughly, because they are very likely to cross-infect, and some anti-virus programs can not run under DOS. At this time, of course, we can also boot the system to safe mode. Make Windows only load the most basic drivers, so it is more thorough and cleaner to kill the virus.

5.Disk defragmentation

In the process of defragmentation, you can not run other Program, because every time other programs perform disk read and write operations, the defragmentation program will automatically restart, and generally when the Windows is started normally, the system will load some automatically started programs, sometimes these programs are not easy to manually close, often It will cause interference to the defragmentation program. In this case, we should restart the computer and enter the safe mode. The security mode will not start any automatic startup program, which can ensure the smooth defragmentation of the disk.
