To exit Safe Mode, simply restart your Mac without pressing any additional keys.

To disable Safe Mode Boot, start Terminal again, type sudo nvram boot-args \u003d "", press Enter and restart your Mac.
What to do next
In safe mode, only a standard set of services, drivers, settings and programs is loaded with the system. If at the same time everything works fine, it means that there is probably something wrong with third-party programs or recently changed OS parameters.
In this case, you need to check your computer with an antivirus and remove suspicious software directly in safe mode. If this does not help, you should consider restoring or macOS back to normal.
If problems with the computer also occur in Safe Mode and even OS recovery does not change the situation, most likely something is wrong with the hardware. First of all, the components do not overheat and, if necessary, clean the computer. If everything is normal with the temperature, contact the service center.
If you are reading this article, then you are probably asking yourself a question about how to disable Kaspersky Self-Defense if your license has expired and the self-defense menu item is not active, i.e. nothing can be changed in it. This article will help you disable self-defense in order to create and receive a new key.
How to disable self-defense if there is no license
To begin with, it should be said that there are two ways to do this, one is to remove Kaspersky Anti-Virus, and the other to boot Windows in Safe Mode. In fact, both methods will end up giving the same result. I'll start with a more accessible method for ordinary users through uninstalling the program.
2. We launch this program and agree to the license agreement.
After removing Kaspersky, click OK and restart your computer.
In the line that appears, enter the command regedit and click OK.
Before us is the editor windows registry... Now here you need to delete some keys (folders). They are located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ KasperskyLab
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Microsoft \\ SystemCertificates \\ SPC
Those. use it as a guide, but you need to delete it at the above addresses of the "folder" KasperskyLab and SPC, for this you will need to right-click on them and select " Delete".
4. After you have completed deleting these keys, we close the registry editor and now download the required Kaspersky product from the official website of Kaspersky Total Security or Kaspersky Internet Security, install the downloaded Kaspersky Anti-Virus and launch it. After which we see that the program asks to enter license key or get a trial version, while the Self-Defense tab has become active again and can be turned off.
The second way to disable self-protection if there is no license
It consists in the fact that you need to restart the computer into safe mode already in safe mode, do the same operations starting with paragraph 3 of this manual. Those. you will not need to remove Kaspersky before entering the registry. Those. launched in safe mode, deleted the same keys in the registry and rebooted in normal mode, after which we get access to the blocked self-defense.
The video below clearly shows the process of disabling locked self-protection, and you can visually evaluate these manipulations, in fact, everything is very simple.

How to turn off Safe Mode on Windows 10 and turn on Kaspersky protection Internet Security 2016? and got the best answer
Answer from Strannik [guru]
Hello. If I understand correctly, then you checked the "Safe Mode" checkbox in the msconfig-boot correctly? If so, then: This was not necessary to do, since now the PC will constantly boot in this mode. You just had to restart your PC. This restart window appears when the user, after installing the antivirus, opens a safe browser or virtual keyboard, and for them to work, the PC needs to be restarted (once).
Go to msconfig- download and uncheck "Safe Mode"
After restarting the PC, open the antivirus and make sure that the antivirus reports that the PC is protected (this is displayed in the main window). Report the result.
