Hello dansoy, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
The easiest way to undo this would be to do a system restore using a restore point dated before you disabled all services by mistake.
System Restore Windows 10 Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials
Did you try opening msconfig from the Run (Win+R) dialog?
If you are able to open msconfig, then you can do this below to undo it.
- Uncheck Hide all Microsoft service.
- Click on Enable all.
I followed your tutorial about how to perform a clean boot. I'm not trying to be picky, but on my system, there were two or three places where your instructions and/or screenshots didn't match what I saw on my monitor. I made assumptions - but I don't know if I made the correct ones. BTW, this is where the problem with msconfig started. Do you mind taking a look? Thank you in advance.
PS: After performing the clean boot, my optical drive no longer works. Perhaps I didn't set something correctly? Device Manager says it's working properly - but it isn't recognized when I go to use it. I also cannot read what's on a disk. The disk ejects and requests a disk be inserted. I have the drive in the boot sequence path - but the boot skips right past it as if it weren't there.
Hello @Nisko, :)
No worries. I want to keep the tutorials as accurate as possible.
Which steps/screenshots were not the same for you?
What build of Windows 10 do you currently have installed?
Find Windows 10 Build Number Windows 10 General Tips Tutorials
I have version 1703, build 15063.483.
As for the tutorial discrepancies, I will have to do that at a later time - but as soon as I can. I recognize that you want to keep everything as accurate as possible and that's why I am letting you know what I read and saw. Your tutorials are great and very helpful.
They are relatively minor - but I'll try to summarize later.
I'm experiencing inconsistent behavior with Startup/Clean Boot. When I run msconfig, the General tab always says selective startup with all three boxes check, albeit the last checkbox is grayed out (use original boot configuration). Under the Services tab, everything is selected. Startup from Task Manager shows all startup items enabled. If I select Normal Startup and reboot, when I revisit msconfig, it reverts back to selective startup.
When all services and startup items are selected, why does it still show selective startup? Some time ago, I had disabled certain services (intuit update service for sure, and maybe bonjour as it is disabled) - could disabling these services explain why it won't ever show "normal startup"? I have half a dozen services that are disabled, but I'm pretty sure *I* didn't disable them, fwiw.
