Thank you.

 

Disabled all msconfig services by accident and cannot login

This is fixable. Try the password sign-in option on the login screen. If it's unavailable, read below.

(If WinRE doesn't accept your password, create a USB setup disk from another computer, connect the USB disk to your computer, and boot from it. Access WinRE. You won't be prompted for a password.)

Try one of the WinRE methods here:

windows 10 - Can't login after choosing "Diagnostic startup" in msconfig? - Super User

The utilman.exe method may be the easiest method for many users.

Disabled all msconfig services by accident and cannot login

I was having issues updating an app so I followed these instructions but I skipped the "hide all" step

Press Windows Key+R.

• Type msconfig and press Enter.
  
• Select Selective startup and uncheck Load startup items.
  
• Select the Services tab.
  
• Check Hide all Microsoft services.
  Note: Skipping this step may prevent your computer from rebooting correctly.
  
• Click Disable all.
  
• Click Apply then click OK.
  
• Click Restart.
  

When I restarted my PC it said "something happened and your pin isn't available". I tried to go to troubleshoot to fix the issue but, whenever I go to fix startup settings it says to choose and account and type the password. Whenever I type my correct password it says it's incorrect. I'm not sure what to do and extremely stressed. Please someone help me, I can't afford to reset my PC as I have important files on it that I cannot lose.
