Windows 10 accidentally disabled all startup items, causing the system to fail to boot.
After accidentally disabling all startup items (including system services) under the “General” tab in msconfig, the computer failed to boot normally (PIN login became invalid). Upon entering the troubleshooting command prompt via Shift+Restart, attempting to run msconfig resulted in insufficient permissions. Seeking the secure operation path to restore startup items.
