Can I Install Drivers In Safe Mode

Posted on by

Hi roy0174,

Select Safe Mode and install 7. It will allow the initial stages & file copying. Step 2, When 7 restarts for the first time, press F8 and select 'safe mode'. A dialog box will appear stating that windows cannot continue in safe mode 'ok' to restart.

1. What happens when you boot the system in normal mode?

Step 1:

You may try to disable automatic restart from advanced boot options and check if you are receiving any error message.

For more information, refer the following link to select disable automatic restart from advanced boot options:

Step 2:

Since you can boot only in safe mode, you may try performinga clean boot and check if you can boot in normal mode..

A clean boot helps to verify if any third party application services or startup item is causing this issue.

You may refer the following KB article to put the computer in clean boot:

If your issue is resolved after performing Clean Boot, then follow the steps mentioned in the above KB article to narrow down the exact source.

Also, after resolving the issue, see the section on the clean boot link to how to return your computer to a Normal startup mode by following the steps under “Reset the computer to start as usual.

Hope this information is helpful.
