Chart of Windows’ Startup Modes

Mode Feature
Safe Not dangerous. Used only after the system has fallen down and could not get up.
Dangerous More fun than safe mode, and makes a nice explosion when it crashes
Daredevil Has a nifty logo, plus you can run a diagnostic which tells you how close you come to frying your chips
Apathetic May eventually finish the startup process, or , eh, maybe not. But it won’t let you know for about 20 mins or so
A La Makes everyone scream for it
Depeche Hugely popular a few decades ago and is still used even today. Well -known for its startup jingle, Fly on the Windows Screens
Median Starts up where we left off, half-way through the previous restart process
Conditional It may start up very nicely and efficiently. Or, it may not. Depends upon a variety of things to which we are not enlightened.
Mixolydian Only for the very well-read. It pretty much dominates everything when invoked.
