This kind of startup is known as a “clean boot.” This article also provides information that you can use to o troubleshoot application or service conflicts.

When you start Windows by using a normal startup, several applications and services start automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include basic system processes, antivirus software, system utility applications, and other software that has been previously installed.
