Clean boot into Windows 10 and troubleshoot
In this guide, we’ll talk about what a clean boot in Windows 10 is, when to use it, and how to do it. Windows comes preloaded with several settings, programs and drivers that interact simultaneously to keep your PC running smoothly. Unfortunately, this “mixed” environment very often leads to compatibility problems and software conflicts that manifest themselves in different ways.

The result is that updates may not be installed or Windows may have difficulty starting properly, often causing slowdowns, freezes, BSODs, or crashes. Performing a clean boot disables all non-essential services and helps you find any software conflicts or problems in your PC.
A clean boot is a diagnostic approach that involves disabling non-essential services in Windows and booting the system with a minimum of programs essential and always essential drivers. This way, you can determine and isolate which app or program is causing the problems you are having while using your PC.
Performing a clean boot is similar when starting Windows 10 in safe mode. A clean boot gives you more control over which programs and services run at startup. It also helps isolate the elements of the normal startup process that are causing performance issues without deleting personal files Safe Mode, on the other hand, is recommended when your PC has software, hardware, or driver issues.
A clean boot is useful in the following cases:
To diagnose the problem, perform a clean boot and then enable one service at a time (followed by a restart) until the service causing the problem is found.
Before performing a clean boot, you need to log in as an administrator on your Windows 10 PC to access the settings mentioned below.
Follow the steps below to perform a clean boot in Windows 10.
Then, select OK on the Startup tab and restart your computer. Once your PC restarts, it will be in a clean boot environment.
Once the clean boot process is finished and the cause of the problem is found, it’s possible reset your PC to restore normal operation.
If you clear the Load system services check box in the System Configuration utility, the Windows Installer service will not start. You can manually start the Windows Installer service if you want to use it when system services are not loaded on your PC.
The computer should restart and function normally again without any problems.
Windows 10 is a large and complex operating system with many competing processes, programs, and settings. In such a varied environment, you are bound to run into software conflicts and other problems when launching or installing apps and updates.
