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

    I only had the one task and that was HP Laserjet printer.  Have disabled it but it was created the same day as the Windows update.  Will see how that goes.

    I had two tasks that were HP Warrantychecker listed, which I disabled.  So far no problems resurfaced, and my HP Officejet printer is still working fine.

    I've been following this thread as well as this other one:

    Chrome keeps signing me out after updating to Windows update 2004

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

    After disable of the tasks from this powershell list, rebooting, the problem has gone away for me. 

    Thanks to Travis and others for their research and help.

    Your issue is exactly what I am experiencing.  Did you find a solution?

    Yes. Reinstall Windows. Fairly painless, gets rid of lots old leftover crud. Machine now working perfectly.

    Not activated yet.  Not sure how others have got on who have installed it.  The problem is no longer present every time I log off my PC as I have now been going for three days where Chrome is fine.  Photoshop still needs to be logged into daily which is a bit of a pain in two-factor authentication.

    Hi Don,

    Thanks for that.  I use Chrome as a default browser but also have Firefox.  In Chrome once I log in to Youtube then all my browser passwords are restored from that memory source.

    Firefox log in information is also missing on restart.

    Adobe Photoshop, filter software with Photoshop require me to sign in again.

    My pop.email in MS Outlook also lost all log in info initially but that has cleared up.  No idea how that was sorted.  Just pleased that it has.

    It would appear that all my security credentials are being wiped on exiting Windows and closing down my machine.

    The problem does appear to come from the Windows update.  Everything was fine prior to that.

    You can appreciate how annoying it all is especially when we have so much two factor authentication these days.

    Thanks for getting back to me.  Appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem after the last big Microsoft 2004 update.  Finally, here is something that has "helped" avoid the problem.  

    First after restart, I login (if asked) to my Microsoft account id...johndoe@microsoft.com, and password, and then I start Google Chrome (my default browser).

    I login to Google Chrome with the SAME account id (johndoe@microsoft.com).  I have a different password for Chrome/gmail etc., but once I started Google Chrome (or YouTube), from then on most of the time when I restart my pc (Windows 10 64), the Google Chrome id/password and pop.email passwords and others are there again when restarting my browser.

    Let me know if this helps.  Yes very frustrating problem!!
