This episode covers critical system utilities that allow deep access to Windows configurations and diagnostics. We begin with msconfig—the System Configuration tool—and explore its tabs for managing boot options, startup apps, and services. You’ll learn how it’s used in troubleshooting slow startups or disabling conflicting software during diagnosis.

We then move to regedit, the powerful and dangerous Registry Editor, explaining how to navigate it and make safe changes when necessary. Finally, we introduce Resource Monitor, a lesser-known but very useful tool for checking CPU, memory, disk, and network usage in granular detail. These utilities often appear in exam questions that require quick identification and appropriate usage. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
