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

    Exactly the same with myself.  Having to go through all that two-factor authentication is a bit of a bind. I have to say at times I get days on end where everything works as normal - like today and yesterday - no problem.  Pretty sure that will not last though.

    Thank god I found this thread. I've been going nuts with this problem since the 2004 update. The initial fix, as suggested by MS tech support, was to create a new profile. This worked for a month or so, but now I have to regularly:

    Enter the passwords for my email accounts in Outlook (desktop), albeit not all of them every time 

    Enable permissions for Microsoft to access Gmail to connect Outlook to that account 

    Log into Creative Cloud

    Log into my Google account every time I start Chrome 

    Log in to OneDrive every time I restart my PC. 

    Additionally, Outlook crashes randomly, making me log in to the accounts again, whilst also failing to fetch mail. This has continued through an uninstall to remove a corporate flavour and new of 365.

    This does not happen on my partner's desktop, nor on my creaky old laptop.

    This has been caused due to the new update.

    Here is what you can do to solve it.

    You can use System Restore to get before the problem began, then check for Updates with the Hide Update tool and hide them.

    If this was caused by Version update then you can roll it back in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and then hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool.

    I haven't been using my Microsoft account since upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 10 a couple of years ago. Why would I need to sync settings with that account?

    Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chrome is turned off.

    This only happens when I reboot.  I can close Chrome and reopen it and my passwords are still remembered.
