Types of Safe Mode

There are three types of Safe Modes. Let us have a look at each of them:

  • Standard Safe Mode: This is the original mode in which the Windows troubleshoots for the problems that have occurred during the booting process. In this the users are given access to mouse, keyboard and other files that have been saved. The Windows screen is black in color and there is no Internet connectivity. Minimum drivers are loaded, audio is disabled and videos are of low resolution
  • Safe Mode with Networking: In this mode apart from loading the basic drivers, the network drivers are also uploaded. So one has access to Internet even if their system is in safe mode. However one should never use this mode as Safe Mode makes the system vulnerable and it becomes easy for hackers to gain unauthorized access into the system.
  • Safe Mode with Command Prompt: In this mode the safe mode redirects to the command prompt. It helps users to do advanced troubleshooting.

So during this phase device drivers also get loaded and OS provides a base for interaction between the hardware and the drivers. So during this phase a lot of drivers get loaded even if not required
