What is MSConfig or System Configuration Utility in Windows 11

When Windows boots up, a lot of things happen, including the loading of a lot of processes and applications. If any of these processes get stuck, Windows will either fail to load or load very slowly. That’s is where the Windows inbuilt tool MSConfig or System Configuration Utility comes into action. In this post, we will see how to open & use MSConfig in Windows 10 and how to manage startup items, boot options, Services & boot in Safe Mode, etc.

MSCONFIG or System Configuration utility helps users troubleshoot Windows Startup issues. It allows you to manage startup selection, Safe Boot, enable or disable Windows Services, find & launch system tools like Performance Monitor, Resource Monitor, and more. The System Configuration utility is more of a diagnostics tool and offers some great controls for configuring the startup of your system.
