How do I turn Safe Mode off?
I recently ran into some issues with my computer and had to start it in Safe Mode to troubleshoot the problem. While Safe Mode allowed me to isolate and fix the issue, now I’m stuck trying to figure out how to return my computer to its normal operating mode. I need to know how to turn Safe Mode off, but I’m not sure what steps to follow. It’s frustrating because I can’t access all my applications and certain functionalities are limited in this mode. I have tried restarting my computer multiple times, but it still keeps booting into Safe Mode. I would also like to understand if there is anything specific I need to be aware of based on my operating system, as I suspect the steps might vary. Can someone help clarify this for me so I can get my computer back to its full functionality?
