Starting (booting) a computer as minimalistically as possible. Typically when you start your computer, it loads many files and programs to customize your environment.

A clean boot is a troubleshooting technique that allows you to get the computer up and running so that you can perform diagnostic tests to determine which elements of the normal boot process are causing problems.
