37How to Start Windows 11 in Safe Mode With Networking [Tutorial]
If you’re not familiar with Safe Mode, it disables a number of drivers and files, essentially running a bare bones version of Windows 11, so you can figure out if any of the OS’ settings or drivers are the root cause of your problems. In basic Safe Mode, network connectivity is deactivated. If you need to access the internet or devices on your network while in Safe Mode, you’ll have to select “Safe Mode with Networking.”
To get up and running in Safe Mode, you have three options to choose from. No matter which one you go with, they each will need you to get into the Advanced options of the Troubleshooting section of the Windows 11 Advanced startup tool.
Thankfully, that’s the only part of the process with alternate ways of progressing. Continuing on in safe mode afterward all follow the same steps. Keep this in mind as we’ll begin with those different steps for the Advanced startup tool before moving on with the rest of the process. Read on to learn how to start Windows 11 in Safe Mode.

When you’re having issues with a Windows computer, one of the first steps to troubleshooting is to boot into Windows’ Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a simple, stripped-down version of the operating system, loading only the most essential files and drivers. It’s a way of eliminating as many variables as possible, and to ensure that the issue doesn’t originate at this most basic level. This is a great place to scan for malware, for instance.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 11 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
