How to remove programs in safe mode in windows? 0

Safe mode is a operational state in which some very important drivers and programs only are operated. Sometimes we have to use this to solve some problems in our operating system. When you try to uninstall a program you will get an error message.


This is because, Windows installer process is not operated in the safe mode. To uninstall a program in safe mode, we have to edit the registry. Type REGEDIT in the RUN command from start menu. Go to the key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\safeboot\minimal. Then right click on the key and select key from New. Then give MSIService as the name. Then double click on it and set the value as Service.


Using this newly created MSIService key you can uninstall programs in safe mode. You can start installer services from the window which is displayed when Services .msc is entered into the Run command.
