I. What is Advanced Options?

Advanced Options on Windows is a control panel of tools that rescue the computer when Windows crashes.

These are tools built by Microsoft in the Windows installer to assist you in fixing, fixing, and troubleshooting as needed.

In some cases you don’t need to find a way to enter this mode and Windows will automatically boot into it. For example the case:

• Windows failed to boot, could not boot to the Desktop.
• Windows boot failed 2 or more times.
• Advanced Options can also be automatically accessed after two sudden shutdowns.

II. What can Advanced Options Windows do?

Here I will summarize through a few features in the Advanced options window:

1. System Restore: Restore your computer to that backup point in time (but the feature needed to be installed and set up before it could be used). However, I do not like this feature and do not recommend it.
2. System Image Recovery: Restore the system with the System Image file. To use this feature, you must first use the System Restore feature to create a backup file. However, I recommend that you should not use this feature, instead you should use tools like Onekey Ghost, Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image to create a backup file that will be much more efficient.
3. Automatic Repair: Auto-fix mode on Windows, when your computer has an error, you can use this feature first and see why.
4. Command Prompt: Yes, access the cmd window to use the commands. This feature is very useful and is also used the most.
5. Startup Settings: Some small settings, you can visit it to learn more.
