First make sure your machine is malware/virus free by scanning, why would
you like to use the Msconfig, do you have a problem?, what is it?.

You may experiencing a profile corruption, try to create a new profile (as
Admin) and copy the data from one of these profile to the new and test to see
if it will work.
If it did work then you know it is a profile corruption, after making sure
you copied all the Data from the Old Profile to the new one, you can safely
delete the old corrupted one, the same with other account.
