Windows 10: Why is my windows security system off on safe mode

Hi long story short I factory data reset my computer because I was suspicious that it had a virus or malware of some sort. After its factory data reset, I updated it and full scanned nothing showed up as a threat. So, I go on offline safe mode to offline scan come to find out it says everything is disabled and I can't turn stuff back on worst of all it wouldn't let me offline scan it basically said this will take a long time, but it wouldn't do anything I sat there for about 10 minutes clicked it again and it did nothing.

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.
