Hi.
Sumit made a guide a while ago what to do and how to fix when all services have been turned off using msconfig.

I have mistakenly turned off my computer after turning all of the services off. Because of that, I can’t login onto my account and my stuff is basically rendered useless.
Is there a way to turn all of these services back on trough command prompt? Nothing else I have tried works, my restore points don’t work neither.

You're very welcome Retix. I'm glad the issue is resolved.
About the Utilman.exe method, last week, I asked the admins if it's OK to post it here. Ref: Moderation Requests to Moderators [December 20 - December 26]. Everyone uses it, and I think it's safe to disclose it here.
Ok. In the meantime, I made a safe boot registry fix for you.
Download the REG file and copy it to the root of your USB setup or Recovery disk. If you don't have one, you can create it from another computer.
Boot the computer using the USB disk, and run the bcdedit command again. Post the screenshot.
Note:
You can create a recovery drive easily from another Windows 10/11 computer.
Right-click Start, click recoverydrive.exe, and click OK.
Insert an empty USB disk. and create a disk without system files.
If you already have a USB setup disk, you don't need the above.
From the login screen, click Shutdown, then hold down the Shift key while selecting Restart. This boots the computer into Windows RE.
Open Command Prompt.
Run bcdedit and post the output or screenshot/photo here.
