Safe Mode is one of the best ways to troubleshoot problems in Windows. If installing a particular update can fix your problem, and you cannot do it in normal mode, then you should install Windows Updates in Safe Mode. You can also choose to uninstall an update in Safe Mode if it is causing an issue.

The simple answer is No. But Microsoft recommends you to do it only when you cannot start Windows normally. The reason why it is not recommended is that in Safe Mode, specific drivers and components are unavailable. So if Windows Update needs to update a particular service or a component, and it is not able to find it, because it’s disabled, it will not update it. When you restart, you may experience some errors related to intermittent file errors or registry errors. Windows may throw an error saying:

ERROR_INSTALL_SERVICE_FAILURE
1601 The Windows Installer service could not be accessed.
Contact your support personnel to verify that the Windows
Installer service is properly registered
