Signed out of everything on reboot

I have an issue that every time I reboot windows 10 pro, I am signed out of many of my accounts which require me to sign in again.  My google account on chrome, adobe, zoom and Microsoft all require signing in before I can use.  This is particularly a problem with the Adobe products since they are a subscription based I can only use them off-line if I am signed in.  So far, my desktop versions of WhatsApp and Signal do not sign me out.  Is this a setting or a bug?

I am fully updated to the May 2020 update Verson 2004

    I ended up by doing a system restore which sorted out the sign out issue but caused other worse problems with the Windows task bar which would only show the right click options. I then undid the system restore and went into Chrome and cleared out all cookies etc and bingo I'm back to normal.

    Facing the same issue since version 2004 update. This is so annoying. None of the patches released has worked. Added to this, everytime after reboot, a notification pops up as Microsoft account problem stating "We need to fix your Microsoft account (Most likely your password changed). Select here to fix it in shared experiences settings". This notification pops up everytime after reboot and fixing it by signing in into the Microsoft account in the shared experiences settings hasn't solved the issue. Also, it is asking me to verify my identity every time. I'm facing all these issues only after 2004 version update. Everything was fine before that.

    The problem has been resolved. I did the following. Before doing this login into all your accounts.

    1. Right click on start. 
    2. Open Windows Powershell (admin)
    3. Copy and paste the below script:

    Get-ScheduledTask | foreach { If ((xml).GetElementsByTagName("LogonType").'#text' -eq "S4U") { $_.TaskName } }

    1. Note the app/task names (in my case the app shown was "HPCustParticipation HP DeskJet 2130 series") that you get as output.

    5. Open Task Scheduler in the start menu.

    1. Locate the task (say, HPCustParticipation HP DeskJet 2130 series)
    2. Click on it. Then click on Edit.

    8. Untick" Do not store password " on the task. Enter your password when prompted.

    1. Restart the system.

    Microsoft seriously needs to fix this. It's happened to me every day for the last few weeks. I've tried the fixes people provided in this thread, and none of them have seemed to work.

    I'm having exactly the same issue - every time that I reboot my PC I'm pretty much signed out of everything. There was a large update that I initialised a couple of days ago and I'm sure that it's linked to that.  

    Ideally MS should rush out an update PDQ (assuming they are aware of the issue and have a solution), in the meantime I will try Firefox and keep looking for a proper solution.

    Good luck .....
