msconfig is unable to set normal startup

Hello, baktazjam

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with msconfig. One common reason why msconfig is unable to set normal startup is that you have selected some options in the Advanced Troubleshooting Settings dialog box in msconfig. To use the normal startup option, you need to clear all of the check boxes in that dialog box, as indicated here: The Msconfig Startup Selection Reverts from Normal to Selective Startup - Microsoft Support

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Best regards

i ve nothing in checked in my advanced setting under boot... thats why it is strange that i am still unable to lock the normal startup.. plz help.

It looks like a bug and I have found some other users who have experienced similar issues. I've submitted feedback in Feedback Hub and suggest you vote for me, and anyone else who sees it: https://aka.ms/AAltn32. The more people who vote, the more attention this issue will get from the developers

I'm not sure if you said your previous clean reinstall retained your personal files or not, if it did, I would recommend reinstalling again without retaining any files and remembering to back up important files before reinstalling.

yr link is empty.. and yes i did a clean reinstall, clean means nothing left there :)

Chek the startup tab in the Task Manager. If something there is disabled, it will not return to a normal boot.

The check mark in the "make all boot settings permanent" looks a little strange also.

That feedback can only be seen if you sign in to Windows Feedback Hub with a Microsoft account, and you can't sign in with an account that has joined the Windows Insider Program, only with an account that has not joined. Is your account part of the Windows Insider Program? If so, try again with an account that you have not joined Windows Insider.

If you are using the Windows Insider Preview version, it is recommended to reinstall the official version to see if you will have the same problem. You can download the official version here: Software Download (microsoft.com)

Also, have you tried Saltgrass's suggestion?

its pretty strange that microsoft only pay attention to the feed back from the users of its insider program , then i must ask microsoft to finish the feed back option for all the users ( millions ) who do not use the insider... because its useless in the light of yr words.
insider has great cons than its pros.... i wa about to join it but when i read its rules i found it disgusting..and you guys plz fix win 10, every clean reinstall comes with corrupted files...there was no use to make win 11 with hell of bugs because it does not ve any major changes or upgrades... those things could be added in win 10 ... anyhow ver 22h2 and later has ruined the microsoft windows worldwide and damaged its fame v badly.. plz fix
