Windows 10: How do I get back to msconfig from safe mode?

I lost a background image at startup that showed different places around the world and I typed in this problem on Duck Duck Go. I got several suggested fixes and settled on one that had me run msconfig and under General, uncheck Normal start and check Selective Start. I did this and now I cannot log on to my HP Envy. It does not allow either my fingerprint or my pin. I can access safe mode by holding the escape key at startup but I don’t know what to do to get back to msconfig. Can someone help me?

  keys on the keyboard and type msconfig in the command box and press
  Enter.
• Under General tab, put a check on Normal Startup option.
• Reboot the system and check if the changes are effective.
