Windows 10: Bad Sys Config

My computer will not Restore. I have two dates that show, but neither one works when I try and restore.


The Bad Sys Config error comes up each time I start my laptop.


I have tried a few different command prompt work arounds today, nothing works.


I have no idea what happened, this just came out of the blue.


Help!

Bad system config info

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The error Bad System Config means that something is wrong with the registry on your PC and you'll need to return to a previous configuration. It would be great, if you can help us with the details requested below:

• When do you get the error message?
  
• Does the computer boot to the Desktop?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  

I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article
Error 0x74: Bad_system_config_info and see if that helps.



Note: The last step in the above article talks about performing a reset on the computer. Resetting the computer will delete all the files and applications from the computer. Do not perform reset on your computer.



You may also want to refer the steps mentioned in the article
Troubleshoot blue screen errors.



Let us know how it goes.

How to use Sys. Config. to get rid of un-needed sioftware

Hello,

Here's the steps I'm doing, cuz i believe they may stop/disable UN-wanted software.

I open up "System Configuration." & click on "Services." I see a very long list (counted @ 217 items). ALL have a check-mark. Some are "Running". Most are "stopped."

I put a check-mark in "Hide all Microsoft Services", and the display changes to 7 items (all with check-marks) and all are labeled "stopped."

"Enable all" is grayed out. I click-on "Disable all."

Each item's check-mark disappears. "Hide all Microsoft Services" is still checked.

I click "OK". The window closes on its own.



I want to check to see if Sys. Config. has
retained these commands to 'Disable" this mass of software.



It didn't. Sys Config looks exactly like it did when began the process.



I did a re-boot & nothing was retained of my changes in Sys. Config. It's as if I did nothing.

Please would someone send me the correct steps on this ?

Thanks,

Gary

 

Bad Config Info error

Good day.

I am attempting to resolve a Bad Config Info error on a laptop. I tried the bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd and it comes back with results "Total Identified Windows Installations: 0" What would be the most appropriate next step?

Thank you
