Safe Mode is a diagnostic tool that lets you troubleshoot whatever is ailing Windows.
When you boot into Safe Mode the operating system only loads the minimum of software that is required for the operating system to work. This mode of operating is designed to let you troubleshoot and run diagnostics on your computer. When Windows has operated for Safe Mode, the desktop will not have its typical pattern, the screen will display only 16 colors, and Safe Mode will appear in the corners of the screen.

Below are the steps to booting system in safe mode suggested to me by an online tech support representative for solving my malwarebytes problem.
