When we have reached the advanced level of processing, there is a great boost to the hardware capabilities of computer systems. Today, the processors that are produced are extremely fast. They are quick enough to provide the user with a graphical user interface (login screen) before taking a look at the various startup options. The blazing processor speeds have made it difficult for users to use hardware interrupts.
The hardware interrupt is described as “using keyboard functionality to work on different boot options” before the operating system starts to boot. These boot options include "BIOS Options" and "Safe Mode". A user can access these options by pressing the "Del" and "F8" keys respectively.
As processing speed increased, the time period for using these options became too short. This required Windows to provide another feature, called "Advanced Boot Options". This option was also included in Windows 7/8. It was shipped in Windows 10 with improved functionality.
The advanced startup options include various features such as Troubleshoot, Reset your PC, Uninstall previous builds, and Continue with another installed version of Windows. This feature can be seen in the screenshot below:
