Windows 10: How to use Sys. Config. to get rid of un-needed sioftware

Hello,


Here's the steps I'm doing, cuz i believe they may stop/disable UN-wanted software.


I open up "System Configuration." & click on "Services." I see a very long list (counted @ 217 items). ALL have a check-mark. Some are "Running". Most are "stopped."

I put a check-mark in "Hide all Microsoft Services", and the display changes to 7 items (all with check-marks) and all are labeled "stopped."


"Enable all" is grayed out. I click-on "Disable all."


Each item's check-mark disappears. "Hide all Microsoft Services" is still checked.


I click "OK". The window closes on its own.



I want to check to see if Sys. Config. has retained these commands to 'Disable" this mass of software.



It didn't. Sys Config looks exactly like it did when began the process.



I did a re-boot & nothing was retained of my changes in Sys. Config. It's as if I did nothing.


Please would someone send me the correct steps on this ?


Thanks,

Gary

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

With the issue description, I understand that you are facing issues with your Windows 10 upgarde and getting an error ‘Bad Sys Config info’. I will certainly help you in getting this fixed. I would appreciate if you could help me with
more information

  What is the model number of the laptop?
  

The issue might be occurring because of some software conflict or corrupt graphic/display drivers. Please follow the below mentioned steps and check if the issue resolves

Method 1:

Step 1: Safe Mode

To diagnose whether this issue occurs in “Safe Mode”, let’s reboot the computer in safe mode and check if the issue appears there as well.

Safe mode is a diagnostic mode for Windows that starts your computer in a limited state. Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started. This helps us in identifying whether the issue is due to some third
party programs conflict. The word Safe mode appear in the concern of your monitor to identify which windows mode you are using. Please follow the below mentioned steps

• 
  Click on the Power button on the login screen.
  
• 
  Press and hold the SHIFT key on keyboard and simultaneously click on
  Restart option.
  
• 
  Once your PC restarts, on theChoose an optionscreen, tap or click
  Troubleshoot. If you don't see the
  Startup Settings option, tap or click Advanced options.
  
• 
  Tap or click Startup Settings.
  
• 
  Tap or click Restart.
  
• 
  On the Startup Settings screen, choose the startup setting for
  Safe Mode with Networking (Generally F5 key is pressed to select this setting).
  
• 
  Sign in to your PC with a user account that has administrator rights.
  

If the laptop boots in Safe Mode then, try step 2

Step 2: Clean Boot

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.
To know more, follow the article below:

The same steps can be followed for Windows 10 operating system.

Note: After troubleshooting, refer to this section ‘How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting’.

Try method 2, if the computer boots in safe mode

Method 2: Uninstall and Reinstall the Graphic/display drivers

Follow these steps to uninstall and reinstall the driver:

Step 1:
Uninstall the
Graphic/Display drivers

a) Press “Windows Logo”+
“X” keys on the keyboard.

b) Click on “Device Manager” from that list.

c) Search for the graphic/display drivers from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select
that and then remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.

d) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.

After the restart, you may again open the Device Manager and then click on the “Scan for hardware changes” button at the top of the Device Manager window and check if Windows 10 detects the network devices and installs an
appropriate driver for it automatically. If that happens, then check if it resolves the issue.

Step 2:
Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

If the issue occurs due to corrupt Graphic/Display Drivers, then you may refer to the manufactures’ website and install the latest Graphic/Display drivers for the device.
