Do Windows Credential Manager encrypt information stored in it?

Apologize if this is a newbie question. Say the PC hard drive with Windows installed is un-encrypted (no BitLocker, etc); and someone gets physical access to the hard drive but does not know the (Windows) login. Can that person get information stored in WCM?

I am aware of this post but (perhaps due to me being a newbie) seems to have not answered above question explicitly. The accepted answer says it's secure at the user account level, does that imply answer to my question is NO?
