Win8 system security mode and system performance skills

Starting Safe Mode

Safe Mode is a very important part of Windows systems. We often solve problems by entering Safe Mode when there is a problem with the system, or by deleting stubborn files. However, in Win8, many users found that F8 can no longer boot into safe mode. This is not to say that Microsoft has canceled the security mode, and we can enter it in another way.

Pressing F8 in Win8 can't adjust this interface.

First, we will slide the mouse to the lower right corner of the screen to bring up the Charm column, and then select Search. Type “msconfig” in the search box so that we can search out the msconfig.exe program and click on it.

After searching for msconfig.exe

we can see the system configuration window, then select the “boot” tab. Under the tab we check "Safe Boot", so that the next time we reboot the system, we will go directly to safe mode.

Here we will also find options such as "minimum", "other shells", these are safe mode specific modes. The “minimum” is a standard security mode, “network” is a secure mode that allows network connections, and “other shells” is a secure mode with a command prompt. In general, we all choose the "minimum" or "network" mode.

Choosing a Secure Boot

It is also important to note that if you want to reboot into normal Windows 8 after using Safe Mode, you will need to perform the same in Safe Mode. In the above steps, “Safe Boot” will be canceled in the system configuration, otherwise it will still enter the safe mode after restarting.

System Performance Management

In the previous paragraph, we said how to enter the Win8 security mode to troubleshoot the system, this is nothing more than to make the system run better. But compared to cleaning up after a failure, we recommend that you pay attention to the performance and health of the system.

First, slide the mouse to the lower right corner of the screen to bring up the Charm column, then select Settings and select “Computer Information”. At the bottom left of the "System" window, we are able to see the options for "performance information and tools".

Choosing performance information and tools

So we are in the performance management interface, where we can rate our system, but mainly about the hardware. What we have to do is to select the "Advanced Tools" on the left.

Here we can see a lot of performance management tools, including "Open Performance Monitor", "Open Resource Monitor" and "Adjust Windows Look and Performance", etc. Wait.

Advanced Tools

Through the "Generation System Health Report", we can get the status of the current system in more complete and detailed way, and can solve the problems in the current system according to it. .

At the same time, we also recommend that the disk be sorted out in a timely manner through the "Disk Defragmenter", we can set the daily, every in the "Change Settings" Automatically optimize the disk once a week or monthly.
