Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading.


It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 


Predicated on Preview ONLY functioning in Safe Mode would indicated some Third Party Application used on this computer has affected the normal operations of this computer


Thus, avoiding the question answer question answer thing - downloading Etrecheck would speed up this process


This is a Diagnostic Tool that makes no changes to the computer.
