Maybe sometime install any application in Windows 10 causing malfunction. It causes system crashes, continuous error messages, or a system slowdown. In such cases, many users choose to reboot in safe mode. Although it can help, it does not start all drivers and services, so it is not the best option to test for a bug.

To this end, the best option we have available in Windows 10 is to do a clean reboot. What this reboot will do is disable the drivers and programs that start automatically. With this, we seek to check if any of them is the origin of this problem in our team.

Thus, it is presented as a good way to search for errors in the operating system. So it is a method that can be very useful at all times, since in many cases, we do not know the origin of this failure in the system. With this clean reboot, we'll have a better chance of finding it.

Before starting, it's good to create a restore point in Windows 10. You never know what will happen. So if there is a glitch, at least we are not going to lose any information on the computer, which would be a real shame if it happened. From this dynamic, once we have said restore point, we can start with the whole procedure.

Perform a clean reboot in Windows 10

The first thing we are going to have to do is open a run window on the computer. This is something we do with the Win + R key combination. Later, when this window is already open, we have to write the following command in the box: msconfig and then we give it to accept. By doing this, you access a special option called system settings. Here we can configure the behavior of Windows 10 when starting.

Within this window that later appears on the screen, we have to click on the services tab, which appears at the top of the screen. Then we are going to visualize all the services that are installed. At the bottom of this tab we have the Hide all Microsoft services option. We must activate this option.

When we have activated this option, then click the disable all button, to directly disable third-party services that are running at that time. By doing this, we subsequently click the OK button, so that Windows 10 registers these changes.

Una vez realizado esto, la configuración nos mostrará una nueva ventana. En él se nos informará que es viable que be necesario reiniciar Windows 10 para aplicar estos cambios. Una de las alternativas que aparecen en pantalla es exit without restart, which is the one we should press at that time. The reason for this is that we still have some changes to make before doing this clean reboot on the computer.

Next we have to open task managerUsing the key combination Ctrl + Shift + Esc. Within the administrator, we have to click on the start tab that appears at the top of it. It is the tab in which we find the applications that run automatically when we start Windows 10.

The next thing we have to do is choose all these startup applications and we have to click the deactivate button, which appears at the bottom right of the screen. The reason we do this is to disable applications that start together with Windows 10. So that the system startup is absolutely clean.

When we have done this and have disabled all applications, we are ready to restart. The restart that we have to do will be absolutely clean, because there will be no services or applications that are running. Then there will be no problems in this regard. It will allow us to find the cause of the problem more easily.
