Msconfig Diagnostic problem

My windows 10 is not open when i click on diagnostic startup this is open before password windows only

 

bearlatvia,

Welcome to the forum!

Can you tell us what Boot disk are you using?

Also, what were the circumstances for which you wanted to boot to Safe Mode?

 

??? Microsoft Win 10 Boot disk --- the reason I tried to boot to safe mode was because Quick Books gave me an error message and I wanted to see if I would get it in safe mode

 

Any Idea what the file name is that stores the msconfig.exe parameters? --- I have a backup of my System , but it is about 7 months old. If I could overwrite the file that stores the msconfig parameters I might be OK

 

bearlatvia,

In my opinion, at this point the best you can do is Repair your computer by reaching the Advanced Options:

Insert a Windows 10 DVD or a flash drive with the Windows installation files on it into the troubled computer.
Boot from the DVD or the USB flash drive.
Select the Repair your computer
Select: Troubleshoot
Select: Advanced Options

In Advanced Options, select: Startup Repair

It is supposed to fix problems that keep Windows from loading.

In the Advanced Options, there is also a Command Prompt (CP).
You can try to access msconfig.exe by selecting the CP, going to C:\, and entering: Start msconfig
However, have no clue what will happen, or if you will get there from Advanced Options, since you are just operating from a boot disk.
