ווי צו אָנהייבן Windows 11 אין זיכער מאָדע

בוטינג אין זיכער מאָדע can help you pinpoint the source of a problem on your Windows computer. If a problematic PC component works smoothly in Safe Mode, that implies that bad device drivers, bug-ridden third-party apps, incorrect system configurations, malware, or network-related issues are the root cause of the problem.

Windows has three different Safe Mode options. This tutorial will show you how to start your Windows 11 PC in Safe Mode and how its options differ.

1. Enter Safe Mode from the Windows Recovery Environment

Windows Recovery is the best route to start Windows 11 in Safe Mode if your PC isn’t booting up or doesn’t boot past a black/blank screen.

  1. Hold the power button until your PC shuts down completely.
  2. Wait for about 10 seconds and press the power button to turn your PC back on.
  3. Press the power button when your PC’s screen lights up or when the manufacturer’s logo appears on the screen. Keep holding the power button until your PC shuts down.
  4. Wait for about 5-10 seconds and press the power button to turn on your PC.
  5. יבערכאַזערן שריט #3 און שריט #4, and your PC should load the Windows Recovery Environment (winRE) on the third try.
  6. קלייַבן טראָובלעשאָאָט in the recovery environment.
  1. קלייַבן אַוואַנסירטע אָפּציעס.
  1. קלייַבן סטאַרטאַפּ סעטטינגס.
  1. קלייַבן הייב אן נאכאמאל to load the Startup Settings options.
  1.  Press the corresponding number next to the Safe Mode option you want to boot.
  • דרוק 4 or F4 on your keyboard to boot into regular Safe Mode. This Safe Mode option strips all third-party apps and programs. A “Safe Mode” inscription will appear in the four corners of your PC’s screen. Windows will only load basic drivers and few options in the Settings menu. Consequently, you won’t be able to use the internet or make certain changes to your PC settings.
  • דרוק 5 or F5 to “Enable Safe Mode with Networking.” This option will load your PC’s network drivers, giving you access to the internet while in Safe Mode. You should only select this option if the problem you’re troubleshooting is network-related or requires access to the internet.
  • דרוק 6 or F6  to enable “Safe Mode with Command Prompt.” Unlike the other two options, this option loads a Command Prompt terminal on the screen. Use this option for advanced troubleshooting where you might need to run CMD commands. 

If you can’t enter the Windows Recovery Environment and your computer continues to boot into a blank screen, consider starting Windows 11 from a bootable USB drive. You can create a bootable USB drive on another Windows 11 PC using Microsoft’s media creation tool or by downloading Windows 11 disk image (ISO). Read our tutorial on creating a Windows bootable USB recovery drive צו לערנען מער.

2. Enter Safe Mode From Windows Settings

Like older Windows versions, you can also enter Safe Mode in Windows 11 from the Settings app.

  1. עפֿענען די סעטטינגס אַפּ (דריקן Windows key + I), סעלעקטירן סיסטעם אין די סיידבאַר, און סעלעקטירן אָפּזוך.
  1. מעגילע צו די אָפּטיילונג "רעקאָווערי אָפּציעס" און סעלעקטירן ריסטאַרט איצט next to “Advanced startup.”
  1. קלייַבן ריסטאַרט איצט on the confirmation prompt to continue.

That’ll boot your PC into the recovery environment. Go to טראָובלעשאָאָט > אַוואַנסירטע אָפּציעס > סטאַרטאַפּ סעטטינגס > הייב אן נאכאמאל and press either 4, 5, אדער 6 on your keyboard to enable your preferred Safe Mode option.

3. Start Windows 11 in Safe Mode From the Start Menu

Using the Start Menu is probably the easiest way to boot Windows 11 into Safe Mode. By holding the Shift key while restarting your PC, Windows will boot into the advanced startup menu, where you can enter Safe Mode.

  1. דריקן די Windows key און סעלעקטירן דעם מאַכט ייקאַן.
  2. דרוק און האַלטן די יבעררוק שליסל אויף דיין קלאַוויאַטור און סעלעקטירן הייב אן נאכאמאל.

That’ll load the advanced startup page. Then, as described in the method above, go to טראָובלעשאָאָט > אַוואַנסירטע אָפּציעס > סטאַרטאַפּ סעטטינגס > הייב אן נאכאמאל and select your preferred Safe Mode type.

4. Start Windows 11 in Safe Mode Using MSCONFIG

MSCONFIG stands for Microsoft System Configuration. It is a built-in Windows tool that lets you access system settings you may not find in the Settings app or Control Panel.

  1. דריקן די Windows key on the keyboard or select the זוכן בילדל אין די טאַסקבאַר.
  1. טיפּ מסקאָנפיג (aka System Configuration) in the search box and select ראַן ווי אַדמיניסטראַטאָר in the result pane.
  1. קאָפּ צו די שטיוול קוויטל און טשעק זיכער שטיוול in the “Boot options” section.
  1. Select your preferred Safe Mode option: מינימאַל, Alternate shell, Active Directory repair, אדער נעץ.
  • The “Minimal” option will load basic drivers and settings in Safe Mode. However, you won’t be able to access the internet, use third-party apps, and modify certain system configurations.
  • “Alternate shell” will boot only the Command Prompt terminal in Safe Mode.
  • “Active Directory repair” is commonly used by network administrators in corporate environments to repair or restore an Active Directory database.
  • The “Network” option will load the network drivers in Safe Mode.
  1. קלייַבן צולייגן און דעמאָלט אויסקלייַבן OK צו גיינ ווייַטער.
  1. קלייַבן הייב אן נאכאמאל on the prompt to boot into Safe Mode. Otherwise, select אַרויסגאַנג אָן ריסטאַרט to reboot your PC later, especially if you have unsaved documents in other apps.

נאטיץ: Your PC will always boot into Safe Mode each time you restart your PC.

The following steps will disable Safe Mode and boot your PC normally:

Return to the “System Configuration” window (Click אָנהייב, טיפּ מסקאָנפיג), uncheck זיכער שטיוול, סעלעקטירן OK, and reboot your PC to disable.

5. Enable Safe Mode From Command Prompt

Another way to boot Windows 11 into Safe Mode is via Command Prompt.

  1. דריקן די Windows key, טיפּ Command prompt אין די זוכן באַר, און סעלעקטירן ראַן ווי אַדמיניסטראַטאָר.
  1. טיפּ אָדער פּאַפּ shutdown.exe / ר / אָ in the console Command Prompt terminal and press אַרייַן.
  1. You’ll get a notification that Windows will shut down in less than a minute. Select נאָענט and wait for your PC to boot into the Windows Recovery page.
  1. On the startup page, head to טראָובלעשאָאָט > אַוואַנסירטע אָפּציעס > סטאַרטאַפּ סעטטינגס > הייב אן נאכאמאל and press the corresponding key next to your preferred Safe Mode option.

6. Enter Safe Mode from the Sign-in Screen

It’s also possible to enter Safe Mode without having to sign in to Windows. Select the מאַכט ייקאַן in the bottom-left corner of the sign-in screen, press and hold the יבעררוק שליסל, און סעלעקטירן הייב אן נאכאמאל.

Your PC will load the Windows Recovery Environment. As mentioned in the sections above, go to טראָובלעשאָאָט > אַוואַנסירטע אָפּציעס > סטאַרטאַפּ סעטטינגס > הייב אן נאכאמאל and select the Safe Mode option.

There’s More to Safe Mode

In addition to diagnosing performance and boot-related issues, entering Safe Mode can help diagnose malware infections and other system errors.
