Enabling or disabling Safe Mode on a HUAWEI computer
| Enabling or disabling Safe Mode on a HUAWEI computer |
Safe Mode is a tool for locating and rectifying faults in Windows. When Safe Mode is enabled, third-party device drivers will not be loaded during computer startup, which means that your computer can run using minimal resources and allows you to locate and resolve issues in your system effectively.
- Since the third-party device drivers will not be loaded in Safe Mode, the fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth, and network functions will be unavailable, but USB flash drives can be identified.
- After you enable Safe Mode using the following method, the Safe Mode prompts will be displayed in the four corners of the desktop.
- For more information, visit the Microsoft official website and see Start your PC in Safe Mode in Windows.
