Safe Mode boots with minimal drivers. The Shift+Restart method accesses the recovery environment.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Hold Shift while clicking Restart, then choose Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Startup Settings, then click Restart and press 4 to enter Safe Mode.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order using the Shift+Restart method. Holding Shift forces Windows to boot into the recovery environment, where Troubleshoot leads to Advanced Options, then Startup Settings, and finally Safe Mode.
- ✗
Hold Shift while clicking Restart, then choose Troubleshoot, then Startup Settings, then Advanced Options, then restart and press 4.
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because Advanced Options must be accessed before Startup Settings. Startup Settings is located within Advanced Options, so choosing it directly after Troubleshoot is not possible.
- ✗
Click Restart, then hold Shift when prompted, then choose Troubleshoot, Advanced Options, Startup Settings, restart, press 4.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the Shift key must be held while clicking Restart, not during the restart process. Holding Shift after clicking Restart does not trigger the recovery environment.
- ✗
Hold Shift while clicking Restart, then choose Advanced Options, then Troubleshoot, then Startup Settings, restart, press 4.
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because Advanced Options is a submenu of Troubleshoot, not the other way around. You must select Troubleshoot first to access Advanced Options.
