Windows 10: Changed msconfig setting now can't boot, please help

my antivirus told me to set certain parameters to boot yo faster, and one of the settings it made me change was msconfig >boot>adv options>no of processors >4

after a few days, I noticed that only two physical cores were active so I tried to reset the msconfig back to its previous settings. I unchecked the no of processors box and after that reset I wasn't able to log into windows anymore.

I tried the trouble shooting options, unfortunately I don't seem to have have a restore point, and all other options like auto repair, resetting the bios, etc, didn't work. I also tried resetting the pc but that didn't work too.

Any ideas how I could make my laptop work, short of a full Windows reinstall?

Msconfig/Boot/options?

Hi Alan,

To answer your query,
MSCONFIG/Boot
will help your computer stop the
applications and
processes that are
running
in your
computer's background
to improve it's performance,
specially
in the boot sequence. The checkbox
Make all boot settings permanent
will allow you to make the changes in your boot sequence permanent. For more information regarding
MSConfig, refer to
MSConfig the System Configuration Tool.

Let us know if you have any further queries.

Regards.

msconfig and setting

No I haven't done any changes prior

about the error messages, not when I open msconfig or settings but during the startup, i received a message notifying about
vcruntime140.dll not found.

Is it related somehow? because i noticed that I cannot open both of them after i received this error message
