    I accidentally disabled all services from msconfig, and when I boot up, it won't let me input my pin. Saying "something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your pin again." If i press set up pin it will prompt me to download an app from the store. But I can't access the store without going into boot. Please help.

    :)

    Stuck in safe mode in windows 10

    Safe mode is intended to help fix most, if not all problems within an operating system, it's not good if we got stuck on it. To correct this, we suggest that you follow the steps below to exit out of Safe mode:

    • Open Run command by pressing Windows key + R
      keys on the keyboard and type msconfig in the command box and press
      Enter.
    • Under General tab, put a check on Normal Startup option.
    • Reboot the system and check if the changes are effective.

    Let us know if you are able to exit out of Safe mode with these steps.

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

    The first thing that you can try is to restore your computer to a previous point before the change.

    1-Restart your computer while holding the “Shift” button

    2-The Advanced Startup menu will open on the boot.

    3-Go to Troubleshoot.

    4-Now, go to Advanced Options > System restore

    5-Select a restore point and click on next to restore

    Another option that you can try is to boot in safe mode and restore the msconfig settings.

    1-Restart your computer while holding the “Shift” button

    2-The Advanced Startup menu will open on the boot.

    3-Go to Troubleshoot.

    4-Now, go to Advanced Options > Startup Settings.

    5-Click the Restart button.

    6-A window with various startup options will show up.

    7-Press 5 or F5 on your keyboard to choose Enable Safe Mode with Networking.

    8-Wait for your computer to boot.

    If both procedures fail, please provide more details about the changes that you made on the msconfig to help identify what is causing the problem. Are you able to reach the sign-in screen?
