Windows 10: I disabled all msconfig services following a guide I even did the hide all thing but when I...

All the guided I have seen need to log in or to use another computer and I have neither. On windows 11 help pleaae.

Virus or something that disables many things

from your run command, type msconfig, and look at your startup items. Look for things that look suspicious. (You can opt to have it not list system services) try disabling a given suspicious item for boot, if it solves the problem, msconfig will provide the items location, and you can go delete it yourself.

 

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.
