Question About Safe Mode
I recently got COD Warzone, and while running it, it crashed for some reason. While trying to launch it again, it prompted me to consider launching the game in Safe Mode and I had never seen such a prompt before, and it said something like: This will change your System Settings but not your Controls.

I did click 'Yes' and it changed a couple in-game settings but I'm wondering if Safe Mode changed any other Windows settings outside the game because the prompt mentioned something about System Settings. So, did the Safe Mode only affect the game or did it affect other desktop settings?

Safemode is a diagnostic version of windows that has disabled most programs and runs on minimal necessary programs. This allows you to access areas that are normally locked windows..
The purposes is usualy to remove bad drivers clean run scanes etc.
It would have no effect on games since games are not a windows system related software.

Safe mode is a feature of some games which have crashed and resets the in game options usually graphic related as the settings may be to high for your system. Metro Exodus is one of those games that does this.

Are you talking about the same game as in the OP of this thread ?
