msconfig, disable all services, break lfsvc (geoloc)
I must edit this post because of an important thing:
I could run windows 10 home in safe mode, using shift key, hold while clicking on restart.
Then i click on Parameters, and selected 4 or 5 to boot in safe mode.
If i use msconfig in normal boot mode, and i disable the geoloc service from there and try to use other type of boot method, it wont activate again.
So enable all services in safe boot from msconfig, fix everythings.
Don't use any method i describe, there is no need for it and can breack more msconfig and settings.
Hello,
Actually i dunno if this is a bug or not.
There is something wrong with ms config that happen everytime i try to click on disable all services, and enable them again.
Service in question that will not enable after clicking disable all services:
Geolocation Service (lfsvc)
In French it's something like: "Service de Géolocalisation"
I tryed to check normal boot, or enable it again in msconfig.
In services.msc:
couldn't find path.
I could start it or stop it, but not change it again to manual differed start type.
Potential fix in a bat file from batcmd website i found:
@echo off
sc config lfsvc start= demand
exit
I'm not sure if it's this thing that fixed or not the service.
But before using it, i exported lfsvc keys in regedit just in case, and deleted the service with sc service.(will breack geolocalisation and windows)
Off course i lost the reg key, doing this.
Next step was about creating lfsvc service.
I used path from the corrupted saved reg keys.
I can't remember the way i did it.
i just remembered i pointed to a path containing %WinDir%\System32\lfsvc.dll
and included netsvcs or something
It was stupid to delete the service it could breack my windows.
Anyway
It did worked, i just had to launch the bat that contain:
@echo off
sc config lfsvc start= demand
exit
and just to be safe, get a copy export of the new lfsvc rush reg key.
I tryed again to use ms config, disable then enable all services.
I checked rush each time, and new key was corrupted with wrong informations.
I provide two reg keys i renamed with .txt.
One is the corrupted key, other is the normal key for windows 10 family x64, french version. (key in french)
The normal key in french i obtained after repairing lfsvc service, is the one i have to use every time i have to disable all services for startup troubleshooting.
The txt file provided is not for fixing the service, but just to look after it if something is wrong or what happend with ms config.
Thanks a lot.
