How do I start Windows in Safe Mode?

Safe mode is the diagnostics mode of Windows. When you start the computer in Safe mode, only the bare-minimal components that are needed to run the operating system are loaded. This mode is useful for troubleshooting the PC, in the event if Windows does not load normally. Safe mode restricts the user in terms of using some functions, such as a connection to the Internet. Safe mode also loads a standard video driver at a low resolution. It's a method to diagnose and troubleshoot the computer for load problems and other issues, by isolating the cause and pinpointing which software or driver is causing the problem.
