Accidentally Disabled all Services in MSConfig, Windows Won't Boot
Had a look on my system and I believe Autoruns lists everything except the MS services which is a shame so for our next trick its a bit more time consuming.
You will want to use Registry Editor PE on the Hirens disk to check and edit the individual services for your system.

The article above shows how to start setting up the connection to the registry but for an older version so substitute C:\ for D:\ and the documents location to the newer C:\Users\ locations as needed.
You will want to Go through all of the services folders individually in the Remote Key version of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\ and where appropriate set Start to 2 for Automatic and 4 as Disabled.
This is quite an invasive process so would recommend backing up the registry first using one of the other tools and to try to advise on what services to set I have attached an export from my system (Win10) for guidance.
