Windows 10: Add Remove Programs Safe Mode Bug Windows 10

So, I was able to reproduce a problem that I found on a YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qFrTo1O6c


The problem is that after switching a system from AMD to Intel if Ryzen Master is installed there may be a problem. In both my case and in the video link posted above the program causes a blue screen to happen upon boot indicating something wrong with a program launching. I did not capture the error code. After 3 attempts to boot the system goes into recovery mode. At this point it is possible to get to Safe Mode through the recovery GUI. First click See repair advanced options, then click Troubleshoot, then click Advanced options, then click See more recovery options, then click Startup settings, Then click restart and you can get to Safe Mode. At this point a new menu comes up. It should give you 9 options for boot. I used option 5 Safe mode with networking. At this point the system boots into safe mode. I net clicked start and typed add remove programs. Normally click uninstall on the problem application to remove it but in Safe mode it says "The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance." If you go to services after this and click in the Windows Installer Service and then click start you get this error: "Windows could not start the Windows Installer service on Local Computer. Error 1084: This service cannot be started in Safe Mode." So now we are in Safe Mode and cannot uninstall anything, which is odd because this is the reason we go into Safe Mode to begin with. So in this case we have to find where the problem file is installed. For me it was in program files named AMD. After renaming the AMD folder to something else I restarted and windows would boot normally. Keep in mind that this may only work for this specific problem. I have not tested this for any other boot issues.

Safe mode problem

Hi,

To get better clarity on the issue, kindly answer the questions below:

• By saying that you have a "Safe mode problem," did you mean to say that your computer is stuck in Safe mode or are you unable to boot it to Safe mode?
• What troubleshooting steps have you attempted to resolve your concern?

If this is caused by recent programs installed on your computer, then we suggest you to run
System Restore to revert your system files to an earlier date. To run System Restore, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
• On the run command box, type "RSTRUI.EXE" and hit enter.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.

Make sure that you choose the restore point date when your computer was working fine. Please be advised that programs and applications installed on your computer after the restore point will be removed.

Let us know how it goes.

Why is Windows Safe Mode Magic?

Everyone.

I help out with I.T. for my wife’s medical practice. It turns out there’s a bug in her EMR software which shows up once in a while. (All the computers run on Windows 10 currently)

The program dies and I get the popup “A problem has caused the program to stop working…”

I hook up a debugger. It looks like a heap issue in their code according to the stack trace. I turn on GFlags and it hits every time. I tell the EMR Software folks but they don’t like to claim bugs and want
to prove it’s not them.

They boot the computer to Safe Mode with Networking and low and behold there’s no heap problem so they say they’re off the hook. It’s not them.

I’ve reproduced the problem on all the machines (32 and 64 bit) and in Clean Mode and logged in under the activated Administrator account but Safe Mode works every time.

Questions:

• 
  How can Safe Mode make a heap bug disappear?
  
• 
  Any suggestions for reproducing the bug in Safe Mode, i.e. what’s really happening in Safe Mode Can I make it more like Normal Mode?
  

Thanks, Mr. H
