[SOLVED] WIN7 won't boot after System Configuration changes

[Robert0063]

When I make changes to the System Configuration (either the 'Services' or 'Startup' tab) the computer boots to Windows logo and stops.
WIN7 Pro SP1 64bit 32Gig

No errors were found with sfc /scannow
No errors were found with SURT/DISM
No errors were found with SFCFix

Here's what mine looks like


I assume if you don't allow startup items to run, Windows will not startup.

I'm not trained to read logs so I didn't bother looking at your 3 attachments.

While I was looking through the registry, this error also popped up. It may be related...

@Robert0063 - are you still experiencing this issue, or did you manage to solve it?

If you're still experiencing it, we can try taking a look at the Components hive to check for corruptions:

Retrieve the Components Hive

1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file
2. Please copy the COMPONENTS file to your desktop
   Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again
3. Right-click on this file on your Desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your Desktop
4. If file will is too large to upload to the forum please share the file using a service like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or upload to www.sendspace.com and just provide the link for the file here
