When troubleshooting a system one strategy is to boot your system in an operating mode which only minimum number of drivers that are know to function correctly are loaded?

This strategy is known as booting in "Safe Mode." In Safe Mode, the operating system loads only essential drivers and services, allowing users to troubleshoot issues caused by faulty drivers, software conflicts, or malware. By operating in this minimal environment, you can isolate and resolve problems without interference from non-essential applications or drivers. Once the issue is identified and fixed, you can reboot the system normally.
