Do not disable MS services from msconfig. Use services.msc from Start |
Run.

Hello , Thank You 'Rock' . In the column (Status) , Must the service
selected need to read 'Started' even though in the Column ( Startup type )
reads either 'Automatic' or 'Manual' for service to actualy be enabled ? {
In the column ( Status ) , many items listed have a blank , however all
services in column ( Startup type ) shows the status 'Automatic ' or '
Manual' for every service } .

Thank You .

Those that are automatic should show started. The manual ones can be
either started or show the "blank" ie not started. They will start when
needed.
