How To Repair Windows and Recover From Safe Mode in Windows 10?

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

  • Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Windows 10, 8, 7, XP, Vista – Microsoft Gold Certified).
  • Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
  • Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer: You’ve started Windows 10 in Safe Mode. Now, you’re wondering what to do next.

Your goal is to enable your computer to start normally again. But, how should you troubleshoot your computer to accomplish this task?

Problem

Windows is not loading normally and the user had to start Windows in Safe Mode.

Solution

Well, the best way is to look at your specific case and find out what caused Windows to stop starting normally in the first place.

Your best bet is to recall what you did the last time you were using your computer. If you made any changes, then it is best to reverse those changes to make Windows behave normally again.

However, we can also try troubleshooting the most common problems which cause a Windows computer to stop loading Windows normally.

If instead of loading normally Windows loads successfully in Safe Mode.

Then, we know that everything is fine except for maybe the device drivers, startup services, or startup programs.

We will discuss solutions to these problems in today’s article.

Is Your PC Healthy?

I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.

Happy Computing! :)
