How do I select normal startup and make the apply save the changes permanently?

The problem with this computer is that from the msconfig the normal Start up option will not light up the apply button as a option. When i play around with msconfig, apply lights up and ask to restart the computer for a normal start up. Windows runs perfectuasly when normal start up is applied.

the problem is now after start up, Msconfig deselected normal start up and loads "Selected Startup" automatically. <Second picture>

For you novice Msconfig is found from the "run" programing. the key board shortcut is the "windows four square key" and the letter "r" pressed at the same time.

then you type msconfig to get the images below window on your computer.

    thats the problem, the Aplly button doesnt light up to work. Also restarting in "safemode" (for all new people reading, Holding the shift button when restarting from the start menu) and selecting run program as administrator did not work as well as your suggestion.

    any more idea?

    well, what can i do to stop editing my start up, and stop anything from adding its self to start up. this way i can select a normal start. its seems that normal start allow windows to host correctly and fundamentally work correctly.

    the bottom line is i want a normal start up and i want to block all the other add ins. remember i purchase the oem CD/DVD, there is no manufacture addin at all.

    let me know how to do that please.

    ps i also think that the reason window doesnt update correctly and causes my start up boot manger to crash.

    Sounds like you also appreciate a clean boot, 4u, which gives a performance advantage. Keeping those edited means that Normal Startup won't be available again because editing them modifies Startup, which almost always makes it faster and more problem free.

    Let me know if there's anything else. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case you need anything else, until the system locks it in a few months.

    this should not be a problem for me, because i bought the oem cd/dvd and installed win10 pro my self. there is no other freeloader. when i turn on normal start up, windows hosting works perfectly. i need to look at the tutorial and get back to you.

    Hi 4U. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

    This means the Startup has been edited in msconfig > Services after ticking the box to Hide All MS Services (very important!).

    If you want to keep Normal Startup available in msconfig, you won't be able to edit the Startups out there. You can try in one of the places where it's controlled, which is covered in Step 4 of this tutorial:
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    But editing Startups everywhere they hide is healthy, as (for example) the average factory PC has over a dozen unnecessary processes running at Startup that freeload on resources and can affect performance. If Startup is never edited then I have seen 30-50 freeloaders all starting on Windows back. So on an ongoing basis any them that can be turned off at Startup will improve performance, sometimes substantially. Once they're turned off in msconfig > Services and msconfig > Startup (via Task Manager) the Normal Startup will not be available again.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions. Please report back results for all steps given so I know what else to suggest if necessary.
