This article documents several lesser-known command-line arguments for the native Windows utility msconfig.exe. While the tool is primarily recognized for its graphical configuration dialog, it supports undocumented flags that can automate specific UI actions or trigger registry modifications.
The author explores arguments such as -/auto, -/basic, and -/commit <number>, where the numeric value corresponds to specific tabs like General, Boot, Services, and Startup. While the resulting registry writes to the MSConfig state key are not considered critical, documenting these behaviors provides valuable insights into native system functionality and potential automation vectors for administrators.
