OK thanks tom will attempt to try out next time in safe mode in Win7, do I have to install Windows repair?

Boggin:
Yes, you will need to reinstall the repair program as the whole idea is to see if it starts the Credentials Manager service as it is designed to do so that on the restart, you are returned to normal mode.

Done the above in Safe Mode in Win7 before install
of Windows Repair 4.6 and see the result with attachment
"crendials manager 1-11-2019".
So I tried while still in Safe Mode i9n cms window as admin
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot cmd but still
could not find bcdedit?.
I did notice that when loacted manually either in
normal/safe mode in c/windows/system32/bcdedit.exec was
there as a application 289kbs?
So will attempt to re-install Windows Repair 4.6 again , then check credentials manager
in safe mode?

PS forgot to mention that F8 when booting win7 will put into Safe Mode
Boggin:
I've just checked the status of Credentials Manager on my Win 7 and it's showing as Started/Automatic.
Right click on yours and select Properties then use the dropdown to change its status to Automatic.
Click on Start/Apply/OK - File/Exit and reboot.
Install the repair program and use it to boot into Safe Mode with Networking where you should now find that a restart will return you to normal mode.
Even though you couldn't manually start Credentials Manager in that mode, Windows must be able to do something to return you to normal mode after the restart.
Shane had set the repair program to start the Credentials Manager service as in some versions of Windows that service is set to Manual and not started as it is in my Win 10.
I don't know why you are getting that error for bcdedit but tapping F8 while switching on will give you a number of options.
One of those options is for Repair your computer.
Click on that and navigate to the Recovery Environment (RE) to select Command Prompt and try bcdedit to see what it returns in that cmd prompt.

Below what you sent with response in Red-

(I done the above and the Credential Manager reset to Automatic?)

I then rebooted to normal mode and ran Windows Repair,
selected jump to Safe Mode/ but it failed to go there.
So rebooted selecting F8 key then select repair tab
and finally jump to the CMD prompt entered bcdedit-
"The boot configuration data store could not be opened
The system cannot find the file specified"
So with all this I decided to do a restore prior
to installing Windows Repair.
What suggestions if any do you have, and if can't find
any, looks like I wont use Windows repair, as I feel
cause I dual boot with Kubuntu 14.04/Win7, and this is why
it won't work?
