Explanation

MSConfig (System Configuration utility, launched by running 'msconfig') has a Services tab that allows a technician to enable or disable individual Windows services at startup. Disabling the problematic service here will prevent it from loading on the next reboot. Task Scheduler manages scheduled tasks, not services. MSINFO32 is a read-only system information tool that cannot change settings. System Restore would roll back many system changes at once, which is a more drastic action than simply disabling a single service. MSConfig is the precise, targeted tool for controlling which services start with Windows.
