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 am so frustrated by this.  It also logs me out of my Microsoft accounts every hour or so along with adobe and any other account I have a password for.  On Chrome if I go into passwords it shows all my saved.  I spend half my day relooking up and entering all my passwords.

    Great! Glad yours is fixed. Mine is fine also, as I save passwords on Chrome and do NOT sync with Edge. So, I use Chrome now.. Edge is gone to me.

    Honestly, I am afraid to allow MS to do anything to my system

    I use a desktop for most things, Chrome was saving passwords.. Then I would sync it to Edge and that's when they are got lost. 

    I did a lot of things, including re-installing windows and it kept the old file. Finally, I stopped the syncing between browsers, set my Passwords up in Chrome and now they stay saved in Chrome. It is a MS problem and it  did come about with that upgrade.

    I have cable Internet and it is extremely fast. It wasn't me that mentioned Internet connection. I knew my problem wasn't in my server. Yes, MS should fix these horrible problems other than try making new ones.
