  1. Windows keeps crashing shortly after startup but works in safe mode


    Hey all I first posted my problem on r/techsupport but they recommended me here instead, here was my post:

    Today when I started up my pc (windows10) after the login screen and as the start up programs/drivers were loading, my pc just froze completely. After a while it went to bsod whea error but it just remained stuck at 0%. I tried again and again and kept getting this problem. The bsod would either give whea or clock watchdog timeout error.

    I later tried starting up in safe mode and the pc works perfectly fine. This is also how I'm typing this post now. I'm quite certain its a driver/start up program thing as during each restart, if my pc was loading up slower after logging in it would work for longer but it would always crash once a set number of the start up programs at the bottom right started flowing in.

    [Update] After disabling as many start up programs as possible the crashes do not occur as frequently, but looking at the taskbar I noticed that my cpu was constantly nearing 100%, it wasn't any single program in particular, all the programs would randomly take up a huge chunk of cpu, like just opening file explorer or internet explorer it would shoot way up. Anyway while I was running hitman pro to scan, the pc went bsod(driver verification), but this time it actually managed to save the whole crash dump unlike the other times where it would be stuck at 0%. (attached)

    In the last few days I didn't manually install new drivers other than a steelseries mouse driver. But I have already uninstalled that and the problem still persists. Is this a driver issue? I have already tried analysis of the dmp file with windbg but it doesn't seem to indicate which driver is causing the issue.

    Please help!

  2. Boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10  


    I am stuck in Safe Mode in spite of following all the suggested steps to go back to Normal Startup - Like opening file location of msconfig.exe & running as Administrator. The computer I am trying to get out of safe mode has just been updated from Windows 7.

  3. Password not accepted in Safe mode

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    Have you tried all the above steps suggested by Sangeeta Sarkar on September 13, 2015.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better.

    • Are you trying to login the Microsoft account or the Local account in safe mode?
    • Did you try with only safe mode or safe mode with networking?
    • What is the critical error you are getting?

    If you are using Windows 10. To go to safe mode you have to follow the below steps.

    If you are able to go to login screen in normal mode try the below steps to go to safe mode with networking.


    • At the login screen click on the power symbol.

    • Hold SHIFT + Click Restart.

    • After restarting your system, select the Troubleshoot option.

    • Select advanced options under
      Troubleshoot screen.

    • Click on Startup Settings.

    • Click Restart and follow the onscreen steps to go to
      Safe Mode with networking and check if you are able to login.

    Please get back with more information, we will be glad to help you further.

    Windows keeps crashing shortly after startup but works in safe mode

    Stuck in safe mode in windows 10

    Safe mode is intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system, it's not good if we got stuck on it. To correct this, we suggest that you follow the steps below to exit out of Safe mode:

    • Open Run command by pressing Windows key + R
      keys on the keyboard and type msconfig in the command box and press
      Enter.
    • Under General tab, put a check on Normal Startup option.
    • Reboot the system and check if the changes are effective.

    Let us know if you are able to exit out of Safe mode with these steps.
