How To Uninstall Software In Windows Safe Mode


Safe Mode in Windows loads the operating system in a limited state, which can be helpful for troubleshooting and correcting PC issues. Many of the standard services and features of the Windows operating system are not available in safe mode, including the Windows Installer Service.
It is not possible to uninstall software in Safe Mode if the service is not running, that is highly problematic if a software is responsible for PC issues.
There is however an option to start the Windows Installer Service in Safe Mode, so that software can be uninstalled afterwards.
