Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode of the computer operating system to help to fix most problems in the operating system.
In Safe Mode, the operating system has reduced functionality, and only activated the core functions.
Although it varies by the operating system, the safe mode usually contains only essential executable modules and disables the device, except those necessary to display information and receive input.
Safe Mode usually provides access to utilities and diagnostic programs so that users can troubleshoot problems that make the operating system work abnormally.
Going into Safe Mode usually aims for maintenance, not functionality, and provides minimal access to features.
