Msconfig Won't Save Changes

Question

I'm trying to change msconfig to Normal Startup but it won't save the changes. Fixes that I've tried:

• Creating a new admin account.
• Saving the changes in safe.
• Enabling start up services.

I've been getting GPU driver crashes and this could be the cause of it.

Answer 1

Hi Murdoch,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Possible cause:

The Msconfig Startup Selection Reverts from Normal to Selective Startup

I don't believe GPU crash is related to the same.

Have you tried removing and reinstalling the drivers as a first step?
