How to Exit Safe Mode on Windows 10

Safe mode is one of the diagnostic modes of Windows 10 (and any other version of Windows). When your Windows 10 is in safe mode, the operating system is running with a minimal set of drivers and services. You can start your computer in safe mode to troubleshoot issues on your operating system or on your programs. When you finish fixing issues, you can simply restart your computer to exit safe mode. But things don’t always go as easy as that. Many Windows 10 users have reported that they can’t get out of safe mode. After they have started their computer into safe mode, it can’t return to normal mode. In some cases, the computer gets stuck in safe mode even when the users try to start their computer normally. This is very annoying, and quite scary. You can’t use the full features of your Windows 10 when in safe mode. And you may be trying desperately to find a solution. But don’t worry. The following are the methods that have helped many Windows 10 users exit safe mode. It can also help you. Just give it a try.
