Windows 10: I changed number of cores in Msconfig and now my pc won't boot

Hi Team, I changed the number of cores on my cpu in my Msconfig after a stupid suggestion and now my pc will not start. It says automatic repair can't repair your pc and the only option I have is to go to advanced options. Can someone please help me with this, I presume it would be fixed through command prompt but I am not sure which commands to do! I have tried resetting, that will not work, and I am completely lost. Thank you very much :

System config: Unable to change to higher number of CPU cores when booting up if choosing to boot with lower cores

Hello.

Thank you for the details.

I changed the number of processes myself. What I meant was that before I changed to just boot with 1 core, the drop down list shows the number from 1-8. But after booting up with it, the OS was really slow. I know that my CPU has 8 cores so I assumed I suppose to open MSConfig and revert the number of processes in the boot tab back to 8 so I did that, but this time the drop down list just showed 1 process. I don’t know if this is a bug but I hope you get the idea now.

You mentioned that Windows can get corrupted if I mess that setting so I ran every DISM command in order, then a sfc scan, restart my PC, and run a sfc one more time. All the commands found nothing so I think I’m good now.

 

I unchecked the “number of processors” in msconfig now my pc will not boot

my task manager was only showing half of my CPU’s cores, i was reading online and say someone say that if you uncheck the “number of processors” in msconfig that if fixes the problem, i did this and not my pc will not boot.
