    Msconfig - Does Selective Startup Cause Slower Boot


    I've been using MSCONFIG for several years and have had a question about the amount of time (at boot) between NORMAL STARTUP and SELECTIVE STARTUP.

    After making changes (i.e. unchecking boxes to disable programs/processes), I've not been able to change back to NORMAL STARTUP and preserve my changes – thus, not been able to verify time changes.

    Hello Win7rap,

    I have the same thing. As long as your startup programs are all enabled, it'll be normal startup. :)

I went to check my msconfig today and I noticed my "Startup Selection" was set to "Selective Startup". I certainly do not recall doing this and have been having no problems with my computer so I was wondering if it's meant to be like this? Should I leave it alone or change it back to normal...
