Hello,
I changed some start-up settings through msconfig and now my computer won't boot. I just followed a YouTube video and changed the some settings.
I have tried the cmd command "sfc /scannow", tried going back to a windows backup I did some days ago, and some automatic repair things from Windows. Is it possible to open msconfig through the cmd?

Thanks for any help :)
 
Solution

These commands will revert those changes you mentioned:
  • bcdedit /deletevalue {default} truncatememory
    bcdedit /deletevalue {default} numproc
    bcdedit /deletevalue {default} quietboot
I turned "No GUI under start-up" on. In the advanced options i set the number of processors. (12, i have Ryzen). And also the maximum memory size.

F8 doesnt work
🙁

Awesome that worked ty so much! The 3rd line was not recognized and apparently not neccesary...
