Windows 10: Disabled all Msconfig settings cant sign in with pin now

So I was troubleshooting some issues with my CPU utilization and like an idiot followed through with disabling my msconfig settings and now cannot log in through windows. I have tried all recovery options throughout multiple threads between the forums here and reddit. Have no options for a clean reinstall or to even access command prompt. I do realize I'm an idiot so hold your comments lmao. Any advice would be appreciated!
