safe boot
Stripped-down system launch
Safe boot is a diagnostic startup mode for computers and mobile devices that loads only essential system software, bypassing third-party programs and non-critical drivers.
It helps troubleshoot problems by isolating whether issues stem from the core operating system or from added software: I had to safe boot my Mac to uninstall the corrupted extension.
Also called safe mode.
