If you have a problem with your PC, you can help troubleshoot it by starting it in safe mode. Safe mode starts Windows with a substantially reduced set of drivers and services. If when you boot in safe mode the problem does not happen you can assume that the basic operating system is OK and it is probably a third party driver or conflict between apps/
You need to enable safe mode BEFORE you have a problem because often you cannot access it when you do have a problem.
As with any modifications it is ALWAYS a good idea to back up your data or at least make a restore point.

In order to add safe mode, safe mode with networking, and safe mode with command prompt You will need to do a few fairly easy things.

bcdedit /copy {Current} /d “Windows 10 Safe Mode with Networking” then hit enter
3-For "safe mode" with command prompt
bcdedit /copy {Current} /d “Windows 10 Safe Mode with Command Prompt” then hit enter
When you have finished adding what you want, close the command prompt.
Next step, type win key +”R” (or right click the start button) and type msconfig and hit enter. Go to the boot tab and click on the first item you added.
