käivitusmenüüdesse

Käivitusmenüüdesse refers to the startup menus found in computer operating systems. These menus are the initial interfaces that appear when a computer boots up, offering various options for the user to select before the main operating system loads. The most common type of startup menu is the boot menu, which allows users to choose which operating system to load if multiple are installed on the computer, or to access advanced startup options.

Different operating systems have their own implementations of startup menus. For instance, Windows operating systems have a boot menu that can be accessed by pressing a specific key during startup, such as F8. This menu typically provides options to start Windows in normal mode, safe mode, or to access recovery tools. Linux distributions also have their own bootloaders, such as GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) or LILO (LInux LOader), which present a menu allowing users to select a kernel to boot, choose operating system versions, or access recovery consoles.

These menus are crucial for system maintenance and troubleshooting. They enable users to access diagnostic tools, repair corrupted system files, or even uninstall problematic software that might prevent the operating system from starting correctly. In some cases, startup menus can also be used to boot from external media like USB drives or DVDs for operating system installation or recovery purposes. The specific appearance and functionality of these menus can vary significantly depending on the operating system and the bootloader used.
