Stuck in Safe Mode

To clarify what Windows safe mode is designed for. Safe mode in Windows disables all unnecessary start-up programs, drivers, processes and starts Windows in its bare minimum configuration. When you boot Windows in safe mode, only core Microsoft processes, essential drivers and Windows services are executed. Using safe mode, you can troubleshoot problems and application misconfigurations. If a recently installed application or a driver is behaving oddly, you should boot Windows in Safe Mode, re-install the driver/program and then boot Windows back in normal mode.

However, you may get stuck in Safe mode and cannot get out of it Here is what you need to do:-

Some laptops are designed to automatically start Windows in safe mode, if you perform an improper shutdown. This includes pulling off the power cable and forcing Windows to shut down by long pressing the power button. Do a proper Windows shutdown by clicking Windows start menu and choosing shutdown, as shown below: If a “proper shutdown” does not help, try the following:-
 * 1) While in Safe mode, shut down windows properly.

2. In Windows 7 click “Start” and type **//msconfig//** in the search box 3. In the “General” tab, check whether “Normal startup” is selected or not. if not, select “Normal startup”.

4. Switch to the “Boot” tab and check whether the “Safeboot” option is checked/ticked or not. There is a high chance that the safeboot option will be checked/ticked, so you should un-check/tick it and hit OK.

5. Now do a proper Windows shutdown and see whether Windows boots in normal mode or boots back in safe mode.

In 99% of the cases, this should fix the issue. If it does not, you have no other option than to do a system restore. If you fail to restore Windows to an earlier system configuration that worked, backup all the data and perform a full system format. Important: Do not **__touch the Windows bootloader__** or install any utility which claims to alter Windows bootloader. This is because Windows bootloader has nothing to do with safe mode and there is a chance that you might mess up your computer’s current boot order.
