   You shouldn't use MSConfig to do this. Instead (and as Paul said) run   
   the Windows Services Management Console, a GUI tool for managing   
   background services (copying and pasting what Paul said here):   
   _______________________________________________________________________   
      
   Right-click the Start icon in the task bar.   
   The Start icon is usually the left-most item in the task bar.   
      
   Third from the bottom in that menu is "Run". Click it.   
      
   In the Run box, type the    services.msc    thing   
   and hit return.   
      
   That should open the Services panel with all of the   
   services in it.   
   _______________________________________________________________________   
      
   Details about services.msc:   
      
   Purpose: To manage (start, stop, disable) Windows services that run in   
   the background without a user interface.   
      
   Functionality: It lists every installed service, showing its current   
   status (running, stopped) and _startup type_ (Automatic, Manual, Disabled).   
      
   To disable a service (and do this judiciously, because you might cause   
   problems with your system if you turn off a critical service):   
      
   1. Left click on a service's name to select it so that "Application   
   information" will be displayed in the left column of the Services   
   module's window.   
      
   2. In that left column and if the service is currently running, click on   
   "Stop the service" to stop it from running, then:   
      
   3. Right-click on the service's name and select "Properties"   
      
   4. Click on the "Startup Type" dropdown and and select "Disabled"   
      
   	Note that some services can't be Disabled.   
      
   Risks: Modifying services improperly can lead to system instability,   
   performance issues, or application crashes.   
      
   Startup Types: Services can be set to Automatic (starts at boot), Manual   
   (starts when needed), or Disabled.   
      
   There may be differences between W11 and W10 in how this is done. This   
   is a Windows 10 newsgroup, so I will have to presume that you're using   
   the latter.

   John C. I filter crossposts, various trolls & dizum.com. Doing this   
   makes this newsgroup easier to read & more on-topic. Take back the tech   
   companies from India & industry from China.
