Maybe on some occasion install any application in Windows 10 that causes malfunctions. System crashes are caused, error messages are displayed continuously, or there is a system slowdown. In these types of cases, many users choose to restart in safe mode. While it may help, it does not start all drivers and services, so it is not the best option to test for a bug.
En este sentido, the best option we have available in Windows 10 is to do a clean reboot. What this reboot will do is disable drivers and programs that start automatically. With this, we seek to check if any of them is the origin of this problem on our computer.
Therefore, it is presented as a good way to search for bugs in the operating system. So it is a method that can be very useful to us at all times, since in many cases, we do not know the origin of this failure in the system. With this clean reboot, we're going to have a better chance of finding it.
Before starting, it's good to create a restore point in Windows 10. You never know what will happen. So if there is a failure, at least we are not going to lose any information on the computer, which would be a real shame if it happened. In this way, once we have said restore point, we can start with the entire process.
Do clean reboot in Windows 10
The first thing we are going to have to do is open a run window on the computer. This is something we do with the Win + R key combination. Then, when this window is already open, we have to write the following command in the box: msconfig and then we click on accept. By doing this, you access a special option called system settings. Here we can configure the behavior of Windows 10 when starting.
Within this window that then appears on the screen, we have to click on the services tab, which appears at the top of the screen. So we are going to visualize all the services that are installed. At the bottom of this tab we have the Hide all Microsoft services option. We must activate this option.
When we have activated this option, then click on the disable all button, to directly disable third-party services that are running at that time. When doing this, we then click on the accept button, so that Windows 10 registers these changes.
Once we have done this, the configuration will show us a new window. In it we will be informed that Windows 10 may have to be restarted to apply these changes. One of the options that appear on the screen is exit without restart, which is the one we must press at that moment. The reason for this is that we still have a few changes to make before doing this clean reboot on the computer.
Next we have to open task manager, using the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Esc. Within the administrator, we have to click on the start tab that appears at the top of it. It is the tab in which we find the applications that run automatically when we start Windows 10.
The next thing we have to do is select all these startup applications and we have to click on the deactivate button, which appears at the bottom right of the screen. The reason we do this is to disable applications that start alongside Windows 10. So that the system startup will be completely clean.
When we have done this and have disabled all applications, we are ready to restart. The restart that we will do will be completely clean, because there will be no services or applications that are running. So there will be no problems in this regard. It will allow us to find the cause of the problem more easily.
