Windows 10: Can someone explain difference between msconfig and service manager ?

E.g. sysmain aka superfetch is visible only when you open task manager and go to services, without clicking to "open Services". Okay than if you click on open Services you get to service manager. But than in msconfig there is bunch of services, which doesn't show in either of these previously mentioned windows. It is real mess, windows is full of hidden settings.

So can someone explain to me what is difference when you disable services via msconfig and when you disable them using Service Manager ?

Thanks !

msconfig services tab

You will always have errors and warnings, just ignore them unless you have a particular issue, then that can help you diagnose the problem. And Task manager has the same services listed as msconfig does.

 

Startup and Services


OK but can you explain why when I disabled SQL Server in services.msc, my boot times were massively faster. This suggests to me that there is a direct link between the services.msc settings and boot performance (also SQL Server was not listed in the Startup section of msconfig).
