Windows 7 Always Starts in Safe Mode. How Do I Fix This?
Why Safe Mode?
When you keep working with Windows 7 for a very long time, sometimes the operating system may get corrupted due to some software changes or inappropriate system functions. To rectify such issues, many times you might need to deliberately start the computer in the Safe Mode.
To start Windows 7 in Safe Mode, power on the computer, and as soon as the monitor displays the first screen, start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly till the advanced boot menu with a list of several boot options is displayed. You can then select the Safe Mode option from the list to manually and deliberately boot your computer in the Safe Mode.
Also, many times the Windows files may get corrupted because of some faulty applications. As the result of this, the system automatically keeps restarting in Safe Mode whatsoever.
When the computer starts in the Safe Mode, only the bare minimum background services that are very important to boot and run the Windows are initialized. The services that are not mandatory to run Windows are not started in the Safe Mode, hence allowing the OS to consume very less system resources.
Since all non-mandatory services such as audio services, graphics, etc. remain uninitialized when Windows runs in Safe Mode, you might get annoyed because of the infinite loop of starting the computer in this mode. This is because you will not be able to use any multimedia or graphics and sound enriched features and applications in the Safe Mode.
