I lost all my passwords on all my browsers

I lost all my passwords on all my browsers with the last Windows update. Every time I try to get support, I am directed to the spot to "save" passwords. They are still there allowing them to be saved. Each time I sign on to a site, I am asked if I want to save. I always say yes, but it still never saves. I had to change all my passwords and write them down because I didn't remember them because they were all saved before that update.  This is annoying, to say the least. Please, don't advise me on how to go into my browser settings and choose to save passwords. I know that. Everyone does.; It doesn't work!

I have been working on getting this fixed since the last update/ I got blocked out of my bank for attempting to use what I thought was my password. 

I wish to opt-out of Windows updates. They only serve to make PC users, annoyed!

    I too, have been on computers starting with DOS. They were not fun! I agree with everything you have said. Less bangles and more jangles. It has been well over a month and still no fix for this mess. Well, it sure helped me to decide that I DON'T want to buy a Microsoft surface!

    I was a quality auditor before I retired and from what I see M$ couldn't get ISO certified if their lives depended on it. Now I have lost a lot of thoughts and education in the last few years but what I see should never happen. They are far more interested in bobbles and bangles than quality. OPn the other hand I have to congratulate them for NOT following the common format for Customer Service that has brought in a new realm of incompetent fools that is so common in the tech industry. I did work at a CS desk for a time and we didn't have a computer prompting us with a handful of basic useless questions like they normally do now. I had to know the original DOS and every version of Windows from 3.0 up to the current of that time. I have had the opportunity to talk with 2nd tier and high lever techs at M$ on the phone and they did a great job even if they didn't resolve the issue at hand. My only concern is that they resort to telling us to REINSTALL Windows at the drop of a hat. Why even have diagnostics and other tools to discover faults and never even use them. And to all I want everyone to remember that WIndows is now made by a third party or so I am told. So that is a BIG concern. I am wondering if that third party is Giggle?

    so much for Agile development methodology. at Microsoft.   When folks move to CI/CD quality goes to sh*t   the qa team is let go and what a surprise. ...   bugs galore.   kind of need a QA team to hold developers feet to the fire for lousy code

    I tried that also. Both my accounts are linked to each other. At that time, I couldn't go into the single account I had at all. I did delete (uninstall) the security upgrade, as you suggested and immediately it deemed my computer, unavailable. I didn't say I made a new Microsoft account. It is a local account used to sign in. Anyway, my Google is working well for me, so I still leave all my passwords there and save them to WORD also.,

    Hope everyone finds a work around until Microsoft fixes this mess.

    I am signing out off this discussion now. Hope what we have discussed has helped others. Thanks Jerseygirl!

    Hope the Covid19 takes a trip to eternity and leaves us all alone.
