Windows 10 and msconfig

(1/4) > >>

I have just updated my PC to Windows 10 from Windows 7, and everything is going fine so far, except..... I did a clean boot on the machine before installing the update. I have found that now, I am unable to permanently change the msconfig start up option to normal. I can set it to normal and reboot, but it reverts back to selective startup after the reboot. I was going to check the "make all boot settings permanent" box, but I was warned that this could not be undone or reversed! So I'm at my wits' end as to how to set a default, etc. for the boot. Any suggestions? And thank you! :confused: :teeth: :thinking:

I typed msconfig from the Start button not knowing at the time that Safe Mode could be accessed through Recovery.

I set msconfig to use Safe Mode with Networking and while it booted up into Safe Mode, I didn't get the networking bit to go with it.

Unfortunately when I typed msconfig again to revert to a normal boot, nothing appeared in the Start up menu - so it was stuck in that mode.

My only solution was to revert back to Win 7, but because of other problems I experienced and Win 10's intrusive nature I've decided to stay with Win 7.

Shane:
msconfig will still show selective startup if you have any services disabled by it and such.

Did you go to the other tabs and reenable the disabled items?

sallyb:
Yes, I made sure of that!

Shane:
Only thing I can think of is that msconfig didnt have the right permissions to change anything, go to msconfig and right click on it and choose run as administrator and see if that does the trick.
