Windows 10 can sometimes act funny, throw random errors, etc. In those situations, you are able to clean boot. Windows 10 clean boot allows you to pinpoint the problem causing service or program and deal with it. Here's how you can clean boot on Windows 10.

The clean boot works in Windows 7 and Windows 8 too. Stick to the same steps.

What is Clean Boot

Clean Boot is exactly what it may sound like. When you start your Windows computer, it will automatically launch or start several other services and applications. Your startup programs make the perfect example. Additionally, the more applications you've in your system, the greater services Windows needs to start. It is because most applications register their very own services with Windows.

The more startup services and applications there are, the heavy would be the Windows Startup. Though starting all of the services is useful, you will see times when these startup services might be interfering with essential Windows services. This can lead to unexpected behavior like program crashes, strange error messages, and slowness.

To cope with that, you are able to perform a clean boot. When clean booting Windows 10, only essential system services are started while disabling all the non-critical services and programs. This provides you a pretty good possibility to locate which service or program is causing the problem on your system.

Steps to wash Boot Windows 10

Though Windows doesn't have Clean Boot button or option, performing a clean boot in Windows 10 is simple and straightforward. All we have to do is disable all of the services and startup programs. This really is quite easy.

1. First, we need to disable all of the services. To do that, open the Run dialog box by pressing the keyboard shortcut Win + R. In the blank field, type msconfig and click on the Ok button.

2. In System Configuration window, visit the Services tab. Here, we first need to hide all of the essential Windows services. So, select "Hide all Microsoft services" checkbox.

3. Next, click on the Disable All button. Click the Apply and Ok buttons in order to save changes.

4. You will see a restart prompt. Click on the Exit without restart button.

5. Now, we need to disable all the startup programs. Right-click around the Taskbar and select Task Manager option.

6. In the task manager, visit the Startup tab. Here, select each application and then click the Disable button appearing at the bottom of the window. This action will disable the startup item.

7. Once you are done, restart Windows 10. Since all of the services and startup programs are disabled, Windows 10 will clean boot with only essential services.

Now, you are able to enable each service and startup item manually and find out which application or services are resulting in the problem. Once you find out the problem, you can either completely disable that service or startup or remove the application out of your system to resolve the problem.

To enable all the services, simply open the System Configuration window again, go to that Services tab, click the Select All button and then click the Ok button in order to save changes. Restart your system and you should be from the clean boot.

That's all. It's that easy to perform a clean boot on Windows 10.
