Safe mode to run the Windows repair tool
Boggin:
That Windows Report link doesn't give me anything.

As you can see from this article that if those updates aren't installed, a Win 7 machine will not get any updates after July 2019.
While minor updates succeeded for me, the Cumulative ones would always fail until I downloaded and installed KB4490628.
When you were in Safe Mode did you check the status of the Credentials Manager service ?

Tom,
No I didn't check, how do I do that checking in safe mode again in "cmd" window under administrator bcdedit?

Boggin:
To check the status of the Credentials Manager service, go Start - type services.msc and press enter when it comes up.
If it isn't showing as Started, click on it then on Start or Restart in the left pane.
Once you have started it and you want to return to normal mode, click on File/Exit to close the Services window and reboot to see if that gets you normal mode.
If it doesn't then go Start - type bcdedit then under Windows Boot Loader check to see what it gives for the identifier and then use that in the cmd as I've previously described.
If it still gives that path not found error then do the bcdedit /deletevalue { } safeboot cmd using both current and default.
Enter exit after both current and default to close the cmd window then reboot to see if either gets you back to normal mode.

and default? as asked before, does it mean between the { } put current and default eg. {current} and {default}?
Enter exit after both current and default to close the cmd window then reboot to see if either gets you back to normal mode.

PS to check both within Safe and Normal Mode?
Boggin:
Yes, you enter either current or default within those brackets in the cmd and you would need to do this in Safe Mode to see that it works if with Credentials Manager started, does not get you back to normal mode.
