Having a "LiveCD" bootable system like Puppy or Mint Linux can be a great way to avoid the need to do the full install if you have a bad virus. Often a virus lives in some directory somewhere and has a second thing in some other directory somewhere else. A booted LiveCD can let you go remove files etc without the virus being able to prevent you. A useful trick is to use the googles to find the name of the beast and then with the LiveCD, go in and find it. In extreme cases just removing what you find doesn't fix it because of the other copy somewhere else. For this, you delete the file and then make a folder with that same name. The virus writers often don't expect that. You can then go a reboot the Windows to finish fixing it. Those LiveCD things can also be great for doing backups. Sometimes trying to back things up can be like trying to change tires while the car is driving down the road.
In italian it actually makes sense! It is called "modalità provvisoria" and can be translated to "temporary mode", so it better explains how and when to use it - just to test if the main components work or to repair the OS, not because it's "safe"

Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default settings and basic device drivers aren't causing the issue. Observing Windows in safe mode enables you to narrow down the source of a problem, and can help you troubleshoot problems on your PC. There are two versions of safe mode: Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Networking. Safe Mode with Networking adds the network drivers and services you'll need to access the Internet and other computers on your network.
I long time ago I had a laptop that would turn off and back on, completely on its own. One day I decided to boot it into safe mode to see if it would stay on and it did. To this day I still don't know what was wrong with it
There is an interesting detail in safe mode. In the service tab in msconfig, you will see that many Microsoft program are stopped. So, logically, if we disable the stopped one and boot up normally, the computer is in a better clean boot, if you also disable startup program in task manager. There is another type of boot that hardware related. In safe mode, some hardware stopped working. So, by disable every hardware that stopped working in safe mode, you can isolate an hardware problem. Of course, it is best to do this offline as you disable Defender.
Safe mode is a diagnostic mode of a computer operating system (OS). It can also refer to a mode of operation by application software. Safe mode is intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system. It is also widely used for removing rogue security software.
I usually use safe mode to manipulate with various Vorbis files because of some problems with Windows (minus reading them because I can use it just foine in normal mode)

I downloaded new RAM into my PC but it failed to detect. Turned out that the RGB I downloaded yesterday was interfering with the new RAM so I had to boot into safe mode to delete the RGB. Safe mode is awesome.
In older laptops ( with windows 7 or before) , Safe Mode also disabled all USB ports except the USB 2.0 port that was "bootable: i.e. used to install windows , etc and wasnt connected to the USB hub , but instead directly to the chipset..
My PC just crashed randomly to a bluescreen and for a hole while i thought it was part of the video because it could have fit perfectly in the context. My mind is blown right now xD
You also have recovery disks you can get from Bit-defender and others or boot to a thumb drive that has a OS installed with some tools to help correct the issue.Worst case is backup your data and scan it then wipe and format your drive then reinstall the OS.
back in school as part of our education we had to install a bunch of viruses and malware and then clean the infected device. we needed to enter safe mode, then install both malwarebytes and avast. the install of both security software had to be installed from a clean source and not already existing on the system when it was infected. malwarebytes had to scan and disinfect the device over and over until we got "3 goose eggs", aka when we get 0 threats found 3 times.
wish that F8 thing was still a thing. now if my system fails to boot properly and i wanna go into safe mode, i have to interrupt my system mid boot a bunch of times to finally get windows repair thing to show up, and then go into safe mode from there.
In win 7 about five years ago I got a terrible virus. I unplugged the ethernet. I opened safe mode. There were a crap ton of pop ups still. Even without wifi and internet access. I wiped the hard drive :P
I'd like a TechQuickie or even a full blown LTT video on what some of these meat substitute companies are doing.

@@LorenzoJ0 Well I can't vaccinate you from everything either. Sure it can help keep you from getting sick, but you can still get sick. Same applies to your PC.
@ma kra gee, who would have thought that 😂🤣😂. Doesn't matter the system, everyone is vulnerable, just a little less on linux since its market share is way less.
@ma kra "Mainframe" is a word I've not heard in a long time 😉 Let's say "server", since Unix has no concept of a centralized "main-frame". The context and purpose of a system ultimately determines what platform OS is "better". Sadly many popular (i.e. Windows!) program equivalents are not available in Linux and running e.g. Wine makes Win application sluggish. Bottom line: it's all relative to how you use it. But Linux is commonly less applicable in most circumstances.
Even though linux doesn't have the support of mainstream software developers, I still prefer to not reboot 37 times when I am updating. Windows install and all required software= 2-3 days, Linux install and all required software= 27 minutes
@ma kra Ok, yes. However the most safe platform/environment is not always about vulnerabilities and viruses. Yes, on Linux there will be less of that, because hackers target Win more than Ux. Still OpenSource is more likely to have more bugs or backdoors, thus less safe. Ultimately "safety" lies more in the thought through strategic human approach rather than ready-made platform solutions.
