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

    hi

    just for the hell of it I tried your solution. When I ran the Powershell I got this>>>

    Doesnt look like it found or did anything.

    I then went to Task Scheduler and there are over 137 tasks to run.

    I'm no expert but disabling ALL and then seeing is this fixes it sounds way to complex. even if it does fix it, that's not a solution

    The update from version 38 to version 43 appears to fix this. Doesn't save all, but the majority and the ones that don't, mainly appear to be Intranet sites.

    Hi blackqwertykeyboard -

    I'm Kevin B. Independent advisor and a Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience that you experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.

    To identify if a 3rd party application or services cause this issue on your computer, let's try to perform system restore.

    You can always perform system restore on your computer where it will take your computer settings back to an earlier point in time where everything is working fine. To perform it ;

    1. Open the run box and type rstrui.exe
    2. System restore windows will open. Normally it will suggest a restore point(Sometimes it doesn't), if it does, select the 2nd option to select more restore points.
    3. Select your desired restore point date and time.
    4. Once selected, hit next and finish.

    Windows will restart itself to start system restore. System restore might take some time to complete and it is very important that system restore must not be interrupted during restore process as it might damaged the operating system. System restore will take at least 20 minutes or more depending on the content of the computer and the changes on the settings that was done prior to the date selected. System restore will also removed application , updates and drivers installed prior to the date selected.

    DISCLAIMER:

    System Restore is a recovery tool for Windows that allows you to reverse certain kinds of changes made to the operating system. System Restore is used to return important Windows files and settings—like drivers, registry keys, system files, installed programs, and more—back to previous versions and settings. Being said all Applications and changes made prior to the date selected will be removed and needs to be re-installed back again.

    Hope this will help and have a bless day!

    Thanks.

    Kevin B.

    Independent advisor

    Every time I close Edge, it clears cookies, despite' Cookies and other site data' being set to 'Off' under' Clear browsing data on close'.

    Now I have to personalise various sites each time I open them. Didn't happen until around two weeks ago. Same on my desktop and laptop.

    Any ideas?
