Rettungsmenü

Rettungsmenü is a German term that translates to "rescue menu." It typically refers to a specialized set of emergency or fallback options available within a software application or operating system. These menus are designed to help users recover from critical errors, system failures, or unintended configurations that prevent normal operation.

The primary function of a Rettungsmenü is to provide access to diagnostic tools, system restore utilities, or alternative boot modes. For example, in an operating system, a Rettungsmenü might offer options to repair the startup process, scan for corrupted files, or revert to a previous stable state. In specific applications, it could allow users to reset settings to default values or access a simplified interface if the main one is unresponsive.

Accessing a Rettungsmenü often requires a specific key combination during the system or application startup sequence. The exact method varies depending on the software. Once activated, users are presented with a text-based or simplified graphical interface from which they can select the appropriate recovery action. The goal is to enable users to resolve issues without needing to perform a complete reinstallation or seek professional technical support. These menus are a crucial part of system resilience, helping to mitigate data loss and minimize downtime.
