When you access Safe Mode, the system will not use all the available drivers, it only uses the VGA display card mode available (16 colors, low resolution 800x600 pixels). The purpose of Safe Mode is to minimize as much as possible so that users can quickly find the causes of errors and fix them as quickly as possible.

Malware / Virus / Malware Scan: When in Safe Mode, unnecessary things have been removed so Virus / malware will not be able to run in the background in Windows, so anti-virus software will easily scan them. and delete them. On Windows, the virus / malware runs in the background, making it impossible for us to delete or do anything because it will constantly report an error.

Run System Restore: For some reason that you do not know makes your Windows operating system no longer stable, you can use System Restore in Safe Mode.

System Restore will use previous System Data Backups that it has automatically backed up to bring your computer to the most recent state (based on the Backups it recorded).

Uninstalling the Error Driver: The drivers on the faulty computer will prevent you from accessing Windows and your job is now in Safe Mode to find the defective driver. Removing driver errors or updating them will be the best solution in this regard.

However, to make the most of SafeMode, it requires users to have basic skills on Windows computers. If you have had too many hours in "Safe Mode" to solve the problem, perhaps you should reinstall Windows faster and more efficiently.
