The tool that can be used to prevent a newly installed service from loading during PC reboot is MSConfig, option D.
MSConfig (Microsoft System Configuration Utility) is a built-in Windows utility that allows users to manage startup programs, services, and other system settings. It's a powerful tool that can help troubleshoot issues related to software conflicts, startup problems, and performance issues.
Here are the steps to use MSConfig to disable a service from starting up during the PC boot process:
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type "msconfig" and click OK to launch the System Configuration utility.
- Click the Services tab.
- Scroll through the list of services until you find the one that is causing the issue.
- Uncheck the box next to the service to disable it.
- Click Apply and then OK.
- Restart the computer to apply the changes.
After disabling the service, the PC should boot normally without any issues caused by the service. If you need to re-enable the service, you can go back into MSConfig and check the box next to the service to enable it again.
It's important to note that disabling certain services can have unintended consequences, such as disabling critical system functions or programs. Therefore, it's recommended to research the service before disabling it or consult with a qualified technician if you're not sure about the impact of disabling a particular service.
