How Do I Clean Boot Windows 8?

While working with Windows 8, many times users might find the operating system behaving incorrectly without any particular reason. In such cases, it is important that administrators diagnose the root cause and attempt to fix the issue.

To accomplish this, administrators must clean boot Windows 8, in which all Microsoft services are chosen to be kept hidden and all other services are left displayed. Once this is done, all non-Microsoft services are set so that they do not get initialized automatically when Windows starts. This further allows only the Microsoft services to start at Windows boot, allowing the administrators to diagnose the real cause of the issue.

In case the above method fails, administrators can then re-enable all services and start disabling each non-Microsoft service one by one until they find the problematic one. Once the problematic service is detected, it can then be disabled or otherwise deleted permanently by using some advanced commands in order to make the operating system run error-free.
