You also have to make sure the computer can start from a USB flash drive. If this is not the case, you will need to change the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) on the motherboard. Also, if necessary, you can use these steps to enable TPM and Secure Boot. If the problem continues in this environment, you will know that it could be an issue with the update or application and not a conflict with anything on the current setup. Yes, it is absolutely safe to use the Clean Boot state on your Windows PC. If your PC has encountered an issue and you are unable to find the cause of it, you can use the Clean Boot mode and find the root cause of the issue by identifying the program that is causing it. Can I update Windows in the Clean Boot state? On Windows 11, you will need a USB bootable media to perform a clean installation, which you can easily create using many tools, including the Microsoft Media Creation Tool and Rufus.

If your problem does not occur while the computer is in a clean boot environment, then you can determine which startup application or service is causing the problem by systematically turning them on or off and restarting the computer. While turning on a single service or startup item and rebooting each time will eventually find the problematic service or application, the most efficient way to do this is to test half of them at a time, thus eliminating half of the items as the potential cause with each reboot of the computer. You can then repeat this process until you've isolated the problem. Here's how: You know that there are different device drivers, settings, and programs on your Windows 10 computer. At times, the software may run into conflicts. But, you don’t know which programs are conflicting. You just note that your Windows can’t boot normally or you can’t install updates normally. If the issue disappears in the clean boot environment, then you can try to find out the offending program or service that cause the issue. You need to repeat step 1 to step 4 above, but only re-enable half of the services During the clean installation, you only need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and internet connection. After the setup, you can reconnect the peripherals (one at a time) to ensure they do not cause any issues. How to create USB for clean install of Windows 11On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment. Follow troubleshooting steps to install, uninstall, or run your application. Your computer might temporarily lose some functionality while in a clean boot environment. Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting and resume functionality. Programs like an antivirus, system utility, and other software installed on your PC may contain processes that can cause conflicts, such as sudden freezes, blue screen of death (BSOD), performance issues, and other problems. A clean boot (by process of elimination) can help you figure out if Windows 10 is having drivers or apps problems. If the issue still exists, you can know that there is no conflict between software and the exact cause happens somewhere else.

The Windows 11 installation has two parts. The first is the setup, and the second is the out-of-box experience (OOBE). In the first part, you will configure some basic settings, select the target drive, configure the partitions, and begin the clean installation process. Restart your PC and see if the problem is gone. You can turn on each app one by one and services individually afterwards to find exactly which app is the cause of your issue. Sign in to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights. If you don't have an administrator account, you can create one. You only need a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and internet connection. After the setup, you can reconnect the peripherals (one at a time) to ensure they don't cause any issues. How to create USB for clean install of Windows 10Repeat these steps until you've either isolated the problem to a single service, or until you've determined that none of the services are the cause of the problem. If you experience the problem when only one service is selected in the Service list, go to step 10. If none of the services cause the problem, go to step 7. Select Startup, then select Open Task Manager. On the Startup tab on Task Manager, one at a time, select the upper half of the items you Disabled earlier, then select Enable. If you still experience the problem after only one Startup item is Enabled, then the Enabled item is the one causing the problem, and you should go to step 9. If no Startup item causes the problem, there might be a problem with a Microsoft service. See Recovery options in Windows.

As soon as the computer starts booting up, press one of the function keys (F1, F2, F3, F10, or F12), Esc, or Delete key. Display resolution: High definition (720p) display greater than 9-inch diagonally, 8 bits per color channel. In addition to the requirements, the installation will also require an internet connection and a Microsoft account to complete the initial setup. These requirements apply to Windows 11 Home and Pro.

How to Turn off Windows Clean Boot

Keep in mind that “Windows Clean boot” is not the same as “Safe Mode”. On Safe Mode, Windows starts with a minimal set of drivers and services, and it’ll continue to start third-party drivers and programs during boot. Typically, peripherals are among the most common reason for problems during a Windows 10 installation. If you have non-essential peripherals connected to the computer (such as removable storage and other USB and Bluetooth devices, printers, scanners, cameras, and others), it's recommended to disconnect them.

Important: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might prevent you from following these steps. Only use the System Configuration utility to change the advanced boot options on the computer with guidance from a Microsoft support engineer. Using the System Configuration utility might make the computer unusable.

The computer restarts in a clean boot environment. Follow troubleshooting steps to install, uninstall, or run your application. Your computer might temporarily lose some functionality while in a clean boot environment, however that functionality will return. Finish troubleshooting and reset the computer to start normally. Install, uninstall, or run an application It’s also worth pointing out that you can also use these instructions to troubleshoot software conflicts on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. For instance, you can re-enable the top half of all the non-Microsoft related services (the ones that are important to Windows should be hidden in the fourth step). After restarting your computer, you can go to see if the issue happens again. If not, you need to re-enable the rest half non-Microsoft services to have a try again. If the issue appears, you can know that the conflicting service is in the lower half ones. When you use Windows Clean Boot, you’re using a troubleshooting method to find and fix the problems you’re having when you turn on your computer. The issues you may encounter include your apps closing for no reason and instability. With Clean Boot, your computer only uses the necessary drivers and apps for your computer to boot. With a Clean Boot, you’ll notice that there may be restrictions regarding the appearance of the device support or how your computer usually runs. When you run a Clean Boot, it’s not permanent.
