Explanation

Starting with Windows 8, Microsoft moved startup item management from MSConfig (System Configuration) to Task Manager (taskmgr). When MSConfig is opened, it displays a message directing users to the Startup tab in Task Manager. Task Manager's Startup tab shows all startup programs and allows you to enable or disable them. msinfo32 (A) provides system information but not startup management. perfmon (B) is the Performance Monitor, used for performance data, not startup items. regedit (C) can show startup entries in the registry, but it is not the intended or user-friendly tool for this purpose and does not provide the same managed view.
