A processor mode that is primarily used for executing application code. Unlike the Privileged (Kernel) Mode, processes running in the user mode do not interact directly with the operating system’s kernel, memory, or hardware directly. As a result, whereas a crash of a kernel mode process in most cases leads to the entire system’s crash, a crash of a user mode process usually only terminates the application that was run using this mode. See Privileged Mode .
