Difference between Kernel mode and User mode in Operating System?

bt.o is the kernel mode driver. When you insmod bt.o you are inserting it into the kernel, where it can cause bad things to happen if it screws up. btduser is the user mode driver. It runs as an application in user space, where usually the worse thing that can happen is a segfault. You don't have to insmod anything for user mode. You just run the application.

Difference between user mode and supervising mode?

When internet expoler 11 runs in protected mode it runs with lowerprivileges than the user?

When Internet Explorer 11 runs in protected mode, it operates with lower privileges than the user to enhance security. This design minimizes the risk of malicious software gaining access to system resources, as it restricts the browser's ability to read or write to sensitive areas of the operating system. By executing in a more restricted environment, protected mode helps prevent potential exploits from compromising the user's system. Overall, this approach aims to create a safer browsing experience.
