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.

    Hi Bradley,

    Microsoft is investigating this. Via this thread:

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

    Hey, everyone! I'm the Community Manager for the Edge team. I wanted to hop in and let y'all know that the team is investigating what's going on here. In the meantime, we suggest that you head to edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose and ensure that Hosted app data is NOT selected, as a temporary workaround. This should ensure that you stay signed into your websites.

    I'll reach out with an update once I hear from the team again. We appreciate your patience while we work on getting this resolved. :3

    I have 19 websites that need to be kept logged in throughout the day. when i leave the computer for an extended period of time Microsoft edge automatically logs me out of a few of these sites and when i get back to it these sites are at the login screen again. how can i prevent Microsoft edge from automatically logging me out of these sites it logs me out due to inactivity as it stays logged in if i switch the browser tab to each of these sites once every 30 minutes. is there a way for the browser to think there is activity on these pages automatically.
