To get out of Safe Mode in Windows 11, the most common and straightforward methods are:
- Restart your computer normally:
- Click the Start menu, select the Power icon, and choose Restart.
- If the system boots back to normal (without "Safe Mode" on the screen), you are out of Safe Mode.
- Use System Configuration (msconfig):
- Press Win + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
- In the System Configuration window, go to the Boot tab.
- Uncheck the "Safe boot" option under Boot options.
- Click Apply, then OK, and restart your PC.
- Use Command Prompt to disable Safe Mode:
- Open Command Prompt as administrator.
- Type the command:
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
and press Enter. - If it fails, try:
bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot
and press Enter. - Restart your PC to boot normally.
- Use the Advanced Startup menu (if you can't reach the desktop):
- Go to Settings > System > Recovery and click Restart now under Advanced startup.
- Navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Command Prompt.
- Run the bcdedit command to remove safeboot as above.
- Exit and continue to boot Windows normally.
Restarting normally is usually enough unless Safe Mode was forced via System Configuration or BCD commands. Unchecking Safe boot in msconfig or using the bcdedit command is effective when Safe Mode persists after a restart.
