Starting this morning, Edge does not remember logins to any website

Starting this morning, every time I close Edge and reopen it, it doesn't remember any of my login so I have to login every time to every website.

I confirmed my setting is set to NOT clear cookies when I close my browser and it has always been this way.  I have never had this issue until this morning.

A features update was installed this morning and that's when this problem started.  Is there a bug with this update?  I'm running Windows 10 and Edge Version 86.0.622.38.  As you can imagine, it is quite annoying having to login to every time to every website.  

Update-There must be a bug because other people on Reddit are starting to report the same issue.

Hi folks, 

The original topic of this thread (Microsoft Edge not remembering logins) has been resolved. Make sure you've updated to the latest version of Edge to get the fix! I'm locking this thread as it is becoming difficult to moderate and troubleshoot individual issues, and this thread has turned in to a catch-all for all password issues. 

If you are still seeing issues with Edge not remembering passwords and all other programs are remembering your logins as expected, please start a new thread so we can help you individually. 

If you are seeing system-wide issues with passwords being saved:

• Check your Windows version to confirm if you are on Build 19041.173 or later

• If yes, reference this troubleshooting document Outlook and other apps won't remember password after Windows Updates - Outlook (microsoft.com) Note that this is a workaround until this Windows issue is patched.

-Alex

    The PowerShell command you posted returned a registry Key, not a named task.  that's why i looked it up in registry and came up with Carbonite.  Other than that nothing showed up.  

    I also thought the problem may have started when I created a second account on the computer so i removed that.

    No Improvement

    been trying not to do that since it gets rid of all your short cuts and other stuff.

    hopefully they will fix the issue soon. Its really not all that horrible. 

    It doesn't get rid of anything, it just reverts back to the "original Edge", everything is still there.

    I ... found a scheduled task that checks for upgrades to Carbonite (backup service)  

    ...  i disabled Carbonite backup for a week ...

    ... i disabled the service running as CarboniteUI.exe ...

    It's not the backup function itself that's causing this problem; the fault is within Task Scheduler. It's vital to keep your backups up to date, so disabling Carbonite is not the best way to avoid the log-in problems and you should re-enable it again.

    Open Task Scheduler (search will find it), locate the task that PowerShell identified and disable that. You can do without updates to the Carbonite program itself until the Windows bug is fixed (a few weeks, perhaps). 

    Post back if you have difficulty with this.
