PCWorld explains how Safe Mode serves as a critical troubleshooting tool when Windows fails to boot by loading only essential system components. Safe Mode enables users to identify problematic drivers, uninstall recent programs, run system repairs like SFC and DISM, and access System Restore. Key diagnostic tools include boot logging to identify crash-causing drivers, Device Manager for driver rollbacks, and startup management through Task Manager. If your Windows PC won't start properly or keeps crashing, Safe Mode can help you identify the cause and fix the problem. In Safe Mode, Windows only loads the most essential drivers and services, skips third-party autostart programs, and uses a simple graphical user interface. This allows you to disable faulty drivers, software, or malware-since these do not run in Safe Mode.

From face recognition to dynamic lock, there are options you may be unfamiliar with. Are you dealing with a Windows PC or laptop that won't stop crashing? Maybe your PC is constantly freezing or displaying error messages. We know how frustrating a PC that won't work right can be. Luckily, there are some easy ways to fix a Windows PC that is consistently crashing.

If your Windows 10 or 11 PC is having problems and you aren't sure where to start troubleshooting, booting your computer into Safe Mode is a great place. Safe mode lets you pick apart problems in your computer without your usual programs taking up resources. It's a versatile troubleshooting tool, and there are several ways to boot into it instead of your full operating system. You can boot into safe mode from your settings menu, your sign-in screen, or from a blank or black screen if you can't even turn your computer on--here's how. Safe Mode's simple laayout makes it easier to diagnose problems Safe Mode is Windows' diagnostic mode.

HBO Max has been mocked and consoled after sending out an unusual email to its customers. The message – apparently sent to a significant numbers of the service's subscribers – was not advertising a new show or feature, but rather included only a cryptic message that appeared to have been sent out by mistake. "This template is used by integration tests only." As recipients opened the email, and quickly realised that it had been sent by mistake, the reaction ranged from mockery to sympathy for the person who had clearly sent what was an internal test email out to potentially millions of subscribers.

NASA's next flagship telescope is the James Webb spacecraft, but the long-term direction of NASA's research remains uncertain. America's space agency has now turned to a team of expert astronomers to choose its eventual successor which will be built and sent into space in the 2030s. Four vastly different designs have been put forward which are designed to look for alien life, distant Earth-like worlds, black holes and the birth of new galaxies and high-energy gas disks. All four of the proposed missions look vastly different and the momentous decision will likely sculpt NASA's research for decades to come. Analysis of The Great Observatory programme in the 1970s gave the scientific community, and the wider world at large, access to analysis of the entire spectrum of electromagnetic light from Gamma rays to infrared radiation. LUVOIR will continue a mission similar to that which has been covered over the last two decades by Hubble and will study the first stars of the universe to find signs of life and the creation of worlds.

Sony's PlayStation 4 has been on the market for years, giving gamers an outstanding experience and the ability to play some of the most fun, exciting, and adventurous titles in the industry. But at its core, the PlayStation 4 is a computer that relies upon a hard drive to run its operating system, store games, and deliver all the fun you'd expect. And as time has gone on and games have become more sophisticated, they've also become larger. Those larger games then require more storage space on your PlayStation 4 drive, giving you one of two options: delete old files to make room for the new files and lose all of your game save data or find yourself a larger hard drive that can store your precious content. Since the first option isn't exactly the most appealing, opting for a new hard drive could be an ideal choice.

We know that there is sound on planets and moons in the solar system – places where there's a medium through which sound waves can be transmitted, such as an atmosphere or an ocean. You may have been told definitively that space is silent, maybe by your teacher or through the marketing of the movie Alien – 'In space no one can hear you scream'. The common explanation for this is that space is a vacuum and so there's no medium for sound to travel through. Space is never completely empty – there are a few particles and sound waves floating around.Charged particles in space can generate and be affected by electric and magnetic fields, which gives rise to the plasma-equivalent of sound waves: magnetosonic waves A researcher from Queen Mary University of London explains that space is never completely empty - there are a few particles and sound waves floating around. Sound waves around Earth are vital to our continued technological existence.
