Msconfig vs services.msc in win7

I was then trying to decide if I should use config to control my start-up, start-up deactivation etc, or is it better to use services.msc? What's the difference/consequences of both.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Ken

Services.msc may only provide the access to the services. However, MSCONFIG gives you access to programs from startup, boot options and services also. I suggest that use you MSCONFIG to control your desktop.
Here is a link that gives you detailed explanations on the MSCONFIG tool and its use:

  • service.msc overrides msconfig active service?

    My msconfig contains a list of SERVICES with check marks on each element.  The State could be running or stopped, but no date is given in the column Date disabled.  In other words, that all are enabled, no?

    My services.msc is also a list but with automatic manual, different Types of starts, disabled, etc.  I read do not change status in msconfig, but it is normal to make changes in the services.msc.

    This means, if I change the Startup Type to disabled, this will replace the State enabled in msconfig?  I'm just trying to reduce the startup time.

    Answering your question: Yes, disabling a service in services.msc removes Msconfig list service so we can say it replaces the msconfig settings
    I would like to disable Msconfig
    Disabling services in msconfig is safer than services.msc because when you enable them again he will restore it with the same settings (as if it was the manual in the first place he goes back to the manual on activation)
    However I do recommend NOT turning off Microsoft services

  • How does influence Services.MSC Msconfig.exe?

    How does influence Services.MSC Msconfig.exe?

    .. a small example to better understand my question: p
    Why when in Service.msc, I disabled Acrobat Update Service (for example), the service in Msconfig.exe still is checked in the service menu?
    It is marked as stopped however.
    Service process uncheck = unchecking in Services.MSC in Msconfig.exe?
    Reboot was done of course.

    Thanks, please help!

    The result would be the same.  The best practice would be to use the disable services continuously, change the startup type, or start services and Services using MsConfig just for troubleshooting.

    To see what is happening in real time, life is to try MsConfig and Services, including all necessary reboots etc (if you wish).

    Services can be affected through the registry too.  There are often several ways of doing things in Windows to get the same result.

  • Unable to connect WiFi: Services.msc maybe?

    I use several wireless receivers.  A PCI card and 3 Wireless USB devices.  Just bought a brand new Netgear N300 yesterday.  The modem is a type of Belkin N.  I can connect on a laptop that is about 3 years old, but not on my desktop.  I think there is something in Services.msc that blocks the WiFi because I have disabled or placed in many manual settings which were not necessary for optimal performance.  I have the usual stuff to automatic configuration wireless, CPP, etc..  I was wondering if there is anything that might be the problem.

    Just diagnosed with the Netgear software and the Ipconfig command.  They both say "Media disconnected" again the USB Wifi adapter is plugged in and sees the router.  Anyone know what "Media disconnected" means?

    First of all, I apologize if my previous answer seemed a bit snippy.

    You live dangerously with no. a / v.

    Your conclusion that it is not the router because everyone can connect is not necessarily correct.  You could still have an incorrect wifi encryption configuration - or this router is completely secure (not need a password to connect)?  What level does the router encryption have established?

    Assuming that you are really sure that you have the correct password (or it is not a), I suppose it is possible that in tweaking things you disabled some (I can't think) service that is required.  Take a look at the site of the Black Viper (link in the previous answer) and compare your list of the services disabled to set up "Safe."  Check the descriptions of all the services that you have disabled which helped Black Viper in its 'Safe' configuration

    You can also take a look at the event viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK) and see if there are clues here.

    "Media disconnected" for a wireless network adapter that shows the router in the list of available wireless networks almost always means an authentication problem... and almost always he turns an incorrect encryption password.

    Just to be great depth...

    Looks like your file jscript.dll became somehow not registered so you can re-record it.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    regsvr32 jscript.dll

    Click OK, and then you should see a message like this:

    DllRegisterServer in jscript.dll successful.

    It's good to register the dll, even if they are already registered.

    If you do not unsubscribe yourself the DLL. Maybe your system has a malware infection.

    I would follow with this:

    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

  • services.msc logs under "Local System account" instead of "This account" (previous setting for all) on WinXP SP3

    Just recently had problems to Windows Update and Windows Installer that were solved by Maurice N.  When you restart the Windows Installer service (again), I noticed that all the services loading of ' run: services.msc' happen under the Local System account. "  Is this a problem?  Found the remarks after a search online, which implies that it is not a good idea.  Previous setting was 'This account' suggestions on the evolution of this return?  I tried to change, but nothing happened.

    The Windows Installer Service must be on the Local System account.  I would fix the manual start, since he does not need to be put forward at every reboot and it works day and night to do nothing.  If you set it to manual, it will start when it needs start.

    This is true for many Services - as in Help and Support for example.  The 'experts' Support committed by Microsoft engineer will tell you always for this set to automatic, but it the Manual value and you will have more memory and CPU to the things that really matter.

    Please provide a link to the Web pages where read you otherwise.

    If you want to learn more about the Services of XP, I was looking at the site WWW Viper Black here.  Chances are that you have many Services running, you can do without.

    Depending on how much Service tweaking you did on your system and which components you have installed, you should define most of all THE Services to the Local System account.

    On my system, sort the list of services by the "Log on As" column, the exceptions referred to in this PROVISION of account/NT would be:

    Customer DNS (automatic)
    Performance logs and alerts (disabled)
    Remote procedure call (RPC) (automatic)
    Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator (manual)
    Windows Media Network Sharing Service (disabled)

    You can have more or less depending on what you have installed.  If you are not sure, ask.

    P.S. The technician 'expert' advice of technical support to run sfc/scannow has absolutely nothing to do with it.  It's just another one of their wild goose hunting support technician to receive credit for responses with links to KB articles that have nothing to do with your problem and will only waste your time.  You describe not as symptoms suggestive of a corrupt user profile.  It's a real shame.

  • Is there a tool out of all the windows configuration settings? (gpedit.msc, services.msc)

    I am trying to build an audit tool to extract the Windows of my environment settings, and it compares with planning what I defined. This baseline scenario specifies in detail what settings should be enabled / disabled / how it should be configured.

    Because it is a large scale environment, and I know exactly what I need, I would build a tool of mine.  I've used such gpresult and secedit commands to get the settings but I can't get all the settings.  I've already got many settings in the registry, but it works to be a bit heavy.

    Most of the settings I need are in gpedit.msc, services.msc, although I can't get in/out these values by using a script.

    For example -.
    Store passwords using reversible encryption for all users in the domain = on (or off)

    This setting is in gpedit, but I can't find this setting in the registry / other functions of command line.  I noticed that most of the information is readily available in gpedit.msc / services.msc although I don't know how to automate the extraction of these parameters.

    Could you please help to automate the extraction of these parameters?  I want ths process is transparent to the user / server administrator to reduce the interaction required for the information.  A macro will not allow the extraction of these parameters, while the computer is locked.

    I'm looking for Windows 2003, XP and 7.

  • Help and support service in services.msc

    When I try and open help and Support under XP, I get an error telling me that I need to start the help and Support service. When I go into services.msc to do this, the help and Support service is not listed

    A service help and Support missing does not fit the symptoms of a corrupt user profile.  Aid and the Support Service is at the system level and does not belong to a particular user, and if you think that your user profile is damaged, you better not delete unless you want to lose all the things belonging to the user that you delete.   This isn't a good way to manage a corrupted user profile or suspicious - unless you want that users angry!
    Have you ever used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:
    cleaner, mechanic, detective, priest, optimize, clean up, tune up, speed up, set towards the top, compact, compress, faster, power, boost booster, guaranteed.
    The Center help and Support sometimes get broken with overzealous cleaning and there are a lot of things to 'try' who sometimes work and sometimes they are not. Sometimes people drop everything simply and never reuse Help and Support Center, but it can still be repaired.
    We can reinstall the missing help and Service support in two ways, let's start with the less complicated:
    Using Windows Explorer, find and locate c:\windows\inf\pchealth.inf.  This is the file for installation help and Support information.
    Right-click on the pchealth.inf file and choose install.
    You may be prompted to enter your XP installation CD as he seeks the installation files.  The files are on your XP installation CD, or, if you don't have any XP installation CD, files will already be on your system from the initial installation (if help and Support was working before) - you just tell the installation where to get them.
    You can locate the files on your system before you begin the installation, so that you know where to say look when he needs a file of installation.
    If you don't have an XP installation CD, change the dialog ' copy the file of ' (by clicking the browse and try again) to point to the folder appropriate for each file.  Usually, the files in these folders.
    dataspec. XML (c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386)
    pchdt_w3.cab (c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries)
    HCAppRes.dll (c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries)
    atrace.dll (c:\windows\system32)
    If these files are not in the same place on your system, you need to do a search for Windows on your system for the file you need and point the installation in the folder appropriate for your system.
    Reboot your system to make sure that the installation is complete and check in Services now to see the status of the assistance Service.
    If the service help and Support does not work, right click, start it and then make sure that the properties are set to auto, reboot again and remember that it starts on its own.
    If for some reason that gets your help and your support Service installed (perhaps you do not find the files) you can follow the other instructions of Riou:

    Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
