    How to boot windows minimal mode?


    Want to minimize operating system memory/CPU use as much as possible because I'm using a lot of CPU to run some code how do I do this? I don't need safe mode no problems with virus or anything like that


    p.s. I find that ctrl alt delete can no longer recover from the computer being frozen.

    :)

  2. Involuntary screen minimization

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.


    • What is the make and model of the computer ?
    I suggest you to check in safe mode and clean boot.

    Method 1:

    Boot the computer in Safe Mode and place the computer in Clean Boot and check if the issue persists.

    Step 1:

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs don't run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    I would suggest you to try the steps in the below Microsoft help article on
    How to Boot into Safe mode.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...ther-startup-settings-in-windows-10#v1h=tab01

    Step 2:

    A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.

    I would suggest you to refer the below Microsoft help article on How to Perform Clean boot.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

    The steps for Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10 also.

    Disclaimer:

    To start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
    "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
    from the link below

    Method 2:

    Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter to troubleshoot the device:

    a. Press Windows key to launch the Start screen.

    b. Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes and click on Troubleshooting.

    c. In the new window, click View all on the left pane.

    d. In the list of options, click on Hardware and devices.

    e. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Keep us posted for further assistance, we will be glad to help.

  4. How to boot windows minimal mode?

    Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...

    Good Evening,
    I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
    The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

    • stopping startup items
    • uninstalling hardware drivers
    • removing recent software
    • running troubleshooters at boot
    • sfc scan
    • diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running
    Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
    Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
    Kind regards
    Trevor
