Which of the following Windows startup modes is designed to load the operating system with minimal drivers and services, making it easier to troubleshoot malware infections?
Safe Mode is a special diagnostic mode that loads the operating system with a minimal set of drivers and services. This makes it easier to identify and remove malware because the malware is less likely to be able to run in this mode. Many other modes are used for troubleshooting, but are not designed to be malware focused. The Preinstallation Environment (PE) is designed for installing Windows and is not a troubleshooting mode. The Recovery Console is a text-based command prompt used to fix system issues, but not malware specifically.
