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

    Regret to say that did not work for me.  Great to hear that is solved your problem.  Will keep trying to find a solution.

    Did you do a clean install of Windows or retain your settings?

    If it was a clean install then for myself that would be no walk in the park after it was reinstalled. 

    I did a clean install, having copied my data from Users to another drive beforehand. Once the install completed, and I had logged in, I copied it back to the new user directory. The problem has gone away on that machine. I did need to reinstall programs too, of course, but as all these are available online - Office  and Adobe CC, mainly - that wasn't too stressful. The time taken was worth the removal of the constant buggeration of having to reenter passwords.

    Of course, now the PC is working, my laptop has started exhibiting the same problem... Sigh. Meanwhile, my other half has had no problems at all. Ain't technology wonderful!

    I'm not sure this is the answer:  but it seemed like it took 2 reboots and then checking again to make sure the scheduled task was disabled.  It was almost as if the scheduled task was already scheduled after I first disabled. 

    VERY frustrating problem to have to keep re-entering Chrome and Windows and OneDrive, Twitter, etc. passwords.  I avoid rebooting or powering off at night now.

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

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