Explanation

MSCONFIG (Microsoft System Configuration Utility) provides a Startup tab (or redirects to Task Manager's Startup tab in Windows 8+) that allows a technician to enable or disable programs that launch automatically at boot. Performance Monitor tracks system performance metrics but cannot manage startup items. Fixboot and FIXMBR are recovery commands used to repair the boot sector/Master Boot Record - they have no role in managing startup programs.
