Site passwords are lost after each reboot since a recent windows 10 update.

Received an update last week. Ever since then, I lose my saved passwords for all websites that I had set to be saved after rebooting my system. This only started after this most recent update.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    By never checking for passwords, as suggested in Google article, you are just hiding the problem. Might be a workaround but not a fix. 

    If a problem has gone away, it feels like a fix to me. :)

    Less flippantly, I sort of agree, but I'm not going to get my brain dirty debugging Windows, so will wait till MS descends from Mount Sinai with the correct fix before doing anything else. If someone doesn't want to faff about reinstalling the OS (like I have on my main machine) to fix this, or creating a new profile (which I did on my main machine after 2004, but which didn't provide an absolute fix as it recurred after 20H2), then this workaround will save the hairbrush industry from bankruptcy.

    I think I have found the fix, on a Chrome forum:

    https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/50327847?hl=en&msgid=54934983

    Having done this, everything seems nominal... for now, anyway. Certainly worth a try.

    I have had this for months. It happens to most things requiring a password every time I reboot. Not just chrome. Abode, emails etc..

    Will see how that goes tomorrow.  The task is showing as disabled, so I hope it will only take another reboot.
