Tom 1/11/2019 before I read last forum message- dated

   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?

Ray
PS forgot to mention that F8 when booting win7 will put into Safe Mode

Tom  31/10/2019,
***************************************************
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.(what do you mean current
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?

TOM 30/10/2019,

t's true that you have to reinstall all of the updates again and ensure that get KB4490628 and KB4474419 installed as they deal with the change of SHA 1 to SHA 2. ( neither of these are installed on my win7 and what is SHA 1 to SHA 2)

I recently factory reset my Win 7 machine and had problems with the updates until I found a download to manually download/install the first of those KBs - I'd already got the second of those through Windows Update but the error code of 80092004 pointed to a SHA problem and to ensure both of those KBs were installed.

You could do as you suggest in booting into Safe Mode first, but that may not tell you if the program is starting the Credentials Manager service.
(I did the install of w.r 4.6 in safe mode, but still won't boot back into safe mode, so I restored back prior to of the install)

I always create a system image as well before I test run new versions of the repair program should things go awry as I don't trust restore points.

The repair program may fix whatever is wrong with your system, but the bcd not being found and occasional problems with F8 could be related and as a sfc /scannow came back clean, then I would favour a repair install.

Ray,
PS I see when I go to Microsoft download centre the following-
https://windowsreport.com/Windows Report › kb4474419-kb4490628-kb4484071

Download Windows 7 KB4474419, KB4490628, and ...
Mar 14, 2019 - If you want to receive future security patches on your Windows 7 machines, you really need to install KB4474419, KB4490628, and KB4484071 ...

Tom 29/10/2019,

Only problem with win install is that you loose all your updates(KB's), have I have gone
thru this procedure years ago and I had to re-install the KB's?
The pressing of the F8 key when its rebooting works(only after several attempts at it),
So what if I install the tweaking.com window repair while in safe mode then doing all
the start up program features, then seeing if when re-booting it goes back in to
safe mode?

Tom,

I thought that you did dual-boot, as this may be the problem?
When I am next into Win7 I will run sfc /scannow to see what it shows, and make
a copy and send to you, so we can establish what is happening OK

Tom,

I sent this yesterday- (also are you using dual-boot, as I have Kubuntu 14.94/Win7)

Scroll down to Credentials Manager and check its status.

It can be Manual or Automatic but should be showing as Started. (already manual-local system)

If it isn't then click on it then on Start/Restart in the left pane.

If that doesn't get you out of Safe Mode then run a Command Prompt as an admin by going Start - type cmd then right click on cmd and select Run as administrator

Type bcdedit and press enter.

Check to see to see what the Identifier is under Windows Boot Loader - it can either be current or default then enter this cmd - I'm using current in my example.

bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot -(not sure what you mean (current) as can't find "bcdedit" and attached is copy of "system msconfig 27-10-2019" as can't tick safe boot?

Press enter then enter exit to close the cmd window and restart.

Tom,

I used the current tweaking.com/window repair 4.6!
Next time I boot up my dual-boot in Win7 I will give it a go,
but I restored back prior to installing it, so will have to
.exe it again, and then try what you said and let you know how it went OK?

**********************************

I recently downloaded Windows repair tool
for Tweaking.com and installed on my dual-boot
system Kubuntu 14.04/Win7Ultimate, but when
installed on the Win7 Ultimate and tried
to boot into Safe mode to run anything, it failed
to boot back to Safe Mode, so what would be
the problem(doesn't like dual boot systems?
