Windows 10: I changed my system config boot settings and now my PIN won't load

I was having issues with a game and I wasnt sure how to boot my computer in safe mode first to check and ended up changing the setup from Normal to either diagnostic or selective startup I think selective but it mightve been both if thats possible.Ive tried holding shift on restart and trying it that way but when prompted to sign in to the account the password will not work. I tried changing it and it still wont work. I cant access command prompt because its password locked. I tried going through UFEI I have ASRock and I couldn't find anything that popped out that might help. When I boot u

computer won't boot but has power

Kursah, that 6 steps are granted it always boots at the 6th step (sometimes at the 4th) and I have to remove the ethernet cable every time otherwise I'll have to do countless steps, that's a fact. I do not have Wake On Lan set.

 

Volume Mute Light won´t change color

Disaster! Now the computer boots up to a background picture with date and time & two small Icons (no network and battery)in the lower rh corner. Clicking enter slightly dims the screen and adds a new small Icon lrh. Doing nothing returns the screen back to the brighter date/time and two icon screen after a half minute or so. WTF!!! Also, even though the mute buttons turns blue/green for a part of the boot-up time, at boot end we are back to orange so no change there. I´m writing this on a non-reliable backup laptop so please help!!!! UPDATE: After waiting several hours I tried again and pressed enter and was able to boot up but Norton says my security protection is not functioning (so I don´t dare go online), so please help me to restore to usual functioning. I just noticed that the tiny speaker Icon, lower right-hand side shows no sound function. Clicking on it opens the trouble finder but no problem can be identified and no solution is offered for the problem. New Update: opened system config and rechecked as on all the boxes that were previously unchecked per your suggestion and the sound mute button functions properly, albeit without the proper color function (as before) and Norton says that security is functioning normally so it seems that things are back to normal but I don´t know how to check to see if this is the case. Waiting for a reply before doing anything else.

 

Bad system config info

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The error Bad System Config means that something is wrong with the registry on your PC and you'll need to return to a previous configuration. It would be great, if you can help us with the details requested below:

• When do you get the error message?
  
• Does the computer boot to the Desktop?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  

I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article
Error 0x74: Bad_system_config_info and see if that helps.



Note: The last step in the above article talks about performing a reset on the computer. Resetting the computer will delete all the files and applications from the computer. Do not perform reset on your computer.

Let us know how it goes.
