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.

I ran into this problem and it was bothering me for weeks. Finally found a solution. Did not have to reformat my computer, or install windows fresh or anything, but I did have to create a new user account on the local machine, and then log into that account. Then in that new account, the problem doesn't happen anymore. Was kind of a pain, but way better than having to reformat. 

Just FYI that's the fix.

This article appeared from TechRadar Pro which suggested the scheduled tasks are the problem.

Agree. Can't believe MS hasn't put a team on this.  

When they ask me would I recommend Windows to a friend I always give a very low mark. This error, the fact you can't do a repair install on 20H2 are perfect examples of MS being on Mount Sinai.

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.

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!
