Windows 10: Accidentally disabled MS services, nothing works to get back in

Dumbdumbhead · Jul 31, 2018

Hi all. I couldn't install a program and someone recommended I perform a clean boot. I disabled MS services instead of deselecting them and now my password to Windows is not accepted.

I created an ISO file from another computer and tried to boot from that (on a USB hard drive). I opened the troubleshooting with shift-click and tried to run msconfig from a command prompt, but it wasn't found. The startup settings button is not present booting from the USB either. Have had no luck getting into safe mode. Now I simply tried to reinstall Windows from that ISO (my important files are on Dropbox) but the program is saying I cannot install on that drive because of BitLocker.

What should I do?

Suggestions on services to disable?

And finally these events from eventviewer took place on the 8th while I was busy working in Photoshop

Airplane mode switch not working

Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

Press Windows key + R.

Type services.msc, then hit Enter.

Search for Radio Management Service.

Right-click, then choose Start.

Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

Get back to us if the steps won't work.

Suggestions on services to disable?

That sounds impossible.. and you have a desktop, so presumably no Wifi. Presumably you pulled your ethernet connection from your PC, which should surely be enough.

Why not keep your project files in an encrypted area? Disconnect while working on them, close access to that area and carry on. The only thing someone could copy usefully then would be any temporary files. So you could run Ccleaner before reconnecting.

E.g. Truecrypt or its successors.

Please beware that using Spybot Anti-Beacon and similar can give rise to puzzling
'Some settings are managed by your organisation' in red in various places in Settings, and some things being disabled.

That is aimed at supposed MS spying- things reporting to MS. So would not be likely to stop other nefarious activities.

Sorry yes physically unplugged, ethernet cable is nowhere near pc anymore, has never had a wifi connection. Happens even before I plug in ethernet after a clean install. Starts with one of the many svchosts. Just a few screenshots of this happening.

Oh even posted a short video of this happening on youtube last year. Currently have not seen anything yet after disabling all that I have, including disabling the use of UDP for remote connections in Group Policy, in autoruns I also unchecked that box for "webplatform customizations" and changed the registry entries for SymlinkLocaltoRemote data value to 0 (also did this for the SymlinkRemotetoLocal as well).
