Safe Mode is most commonly used to diagnose if a problem on a computer is being caused by a third-party element such as a third-party application or a service/process that is part of a third-party application. You see, if the cause of a problem is in any way connected to a third-party program or element, the problem won’t occur while Windows is in Safe Mode and all third-party elements are disabled by the system. Booting a Windows computer into Safe Mode is pretty easy – it’s getting a Windows computer out of Safe Mode that can sometimes end up being trickier than it should be. A Windows user can’t possibly use their computer while it is still in Safe Mode, that’s just ridiculous. That being the case, it is paramount that Windows users know how they can get out of Safe Mode on a Windows computer – you never know when you might need to put your computer into and then get it out of Safe Mode.

That being the case, if you’re looking to get your computer out of Safe Mode, simply restart your computer and check to see if doing so manages to get the computer to boot up normally. If the computer still boots up in Safe Mode, simply move on to the next method.

While doing so does boot a Windows computer into Safe Mode, it keeps on booting the computer into Safe Mode until the Safe boot feature is manually disabled. Here’s how to get your computer out of Safe Mode by disabling the Safe boot option in System Configuration: When the computer boots up, check to make sure that it boots up normally and does not boot into Safe Mode.
Method 3: Boot the computer out of Safe Mode using the Advanced Boot Options menu
If Method 2 didn’t work for you for whatever reason or if the Safe boot option was already disabled when you got to it in the System Configuration utility, fear not – you still have one last resort, i.e. booting your computer out of Safe Mode using the Advanced Boot Options menu.
