Which statement best describes Safe-mode usage for diagnosing issues?

• A. Safe-mode helps determine if an issue is plugin-related
• B. Safe-mode permanently disables plugins
• C. Safe-mode automatically updates plugins
• D. Safe-mode clears the cache

Answer: (A)

Safe-mode starts the application with only its core features, temporarily disabling third-party plugins or extensions. This creates a clean baseline so you can see whether the issue still occurs without any plugins involved. If the problem disappears in Safe-mode, it strongly points to a plugin or extension as the cause, and you can re-enable plugins one by one to identify the culprit. Safe-mode is temporary and does not permanently disable plugins; they come back when you exit Safe-mode or restart. It also doesn’t automatically update plugins or clear caches, so those steps are separate in the troubleshooting process.
