  2. Accidentally disabled all options on MSconfig start up and now can't login

    Under Windows 10, msconfig no longer lets you disable startup programs. It only lets you deactivate services. Is this what you did?

    You could launch Windows Repair Mode, then use System Restore to undo the damage. Here is how to get into Repair Mode:

    1. Turn the machine on.
    2. Wait until the spinning circle appears.
    3. Force the machine off.
    4. Repeat Steps 2 & 3 two more times.
    5. Select repair mode.

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Weird machine name in msconfig

    Machines Fail to Start and Initialize


    OK in this case the additional info in the error message really does not reveal anything.

    Do you store the virtual hard disks and configuration files on default places? VHD files in C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks, and the configuration files in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V? If so you could try this and tell if you could create and run a vm:

    • Create a folder Hyper-V on root of any drive than C:
    • On that folder create a subfolder, name it as VHD, and another with a name VM
    • Create a new VM
    • In New Virtual Machine Wizard, step Specify name and location, select Store the virtual machine in a different location, browse to the Hyper-V\VM folder you created and select it as the location
    • In New Virtual Machine Wizard, step Connect Virtual Hard Disk, click the Browse button next to Location, browse to the Hyper-V\VHD folder you created and select it
    • Finish the setup, launch the vm
