Differences Between Safe Mode and Clean Boot in Windows 10

Windows 10

As we use our Windows 10 computer, files, updates and applications accumulate on it. Therefore, it is possible that on some occasion there is a problem or a fault in it. This prevents it from working properly and we have to find ways to recover the computer. In this sense we have two options: Safe mode or do a clean boot. Two known options.

Although many people they do not know which one to use in their specific case. Therefore, we tell you more about this safe mode and clean start in Windows 10, so that you can correctly choose the one that best suits what you are looking for in your specific case. Thus, to be able to make the right decision.

They are two functions that we know and that we have surely used on occasion. Although there are times when we do not really know which is the best in our specific case. Since they give the feeling of having many aspects in common. That is why we tell you what we have to do in this case. To choose the one that is applicable at that time.

Safe mode in Windows 10

If it is Windows 10 that does not start, does not work well or crashes on a regular basis, then we have to resort to safe mode. This is a special configuration of the operating system. In it, Windows is loaded with a series of minimum configurations, since third-party programs or drivers are not loaded. Nothing that can affect a safe startup runs in this case.

We are disabling everything that is not essential to boot Windows 10. In this way, we see that we have access to a configuration in which many elements are missing, so it is the most basic mode. It is above all the way in which to search for errors in the computer. If an update has failed, has been infected with a virus or there is an app that does not work Correctly.

Thanks to safe mode it is possible to search and find this fault, in addition to providing a solution. In this way, you can start Windows 10 normally again and make everything work fine again. So in such situations, it is better to use safe mode. If you want or need to use this mode on any occasion, We have already shown you how to do it, which is not complicated at all. Feel free to use this mode if necessary, it can solve many problems.

Clean start

Windows 10

On the other hand we find the so-called Clean Start in Windows 10. When we use this option, we are loading the operating system with our configurations and the drivers that have been installed in it. In this case, everything works normally, except for third-party applications and those services that are not from Microsoft itself. These do not work in this case as they have been disabled, but the rest are working normally.

This is a method that we can turn to when there is a application that starts automatically on our computer and causes the computer to freeze later. Since it will allow us to uninstall this application or disable it, depending on what we want to do in this case. It is a way to detect possible problems while Windows 10 is working normally. In these situations, it is common for the problem to be caused by a third-party application or service, therefore, we are interested that it is not activated at that time, so that we can find the solution.

So if there is something wrong when starting the computer, which is third-party, we then resort to this clean start in Windows 10. It will allow us to use the operating system normally, but without running said tool or service that is not Microsoft at that time. The way to use this function is not complicated, as we have already shown you in the past.
