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

    Yes, all the mentioned accounts used to leave me signed in (Chrome, Zoom, Adobe, and Microsoft).

    I believe the change happened with the May 2020 update. d

    Checking the 'remember me' options do not resolve or even change the problem.

    I have all cookies selected and have tried the steps to keep signed in to Chrome.  In fact those were the first steps I tried because it was the first program I noticed the problem in.  Since then, I assumed it was a Windows issue since I didn't make any other changes and nothing that would have permission to affect all those programs.

    I would appreciate advise related to Windows, since it is unlikely that Chrome has the ability to log me out of my Microsoft products as well.

    thank you

    Same thing happening with me after may update

    RESOLVED!

    Had a long call with MS tech support. After some extensive troubleshooting, we fixed it by making this change:

    Went to settings, accounts, sign in options, restart apps, enabled all settings here. 

    Now after a reboot all sign ins survive the reboot. 

    This fixed the problem for me! My PC has now been turned on and off at least 6 times in 3 days (and it even updated as well) and I am still logged into both my Outlook accounts, Gmail, facebook and OneDrive. Yay!

    I figured it out!!!!!

    • Right-click Start>Windows Powershell(admin). Copy and paste below command
      • Get-ScheduledTask | foreach { If ((xml).GetElementsByTagName("LogonType").'#text' -eq "S4U") { $_.TaskName } }

    Note the app names you get as an output.

    Disable the apps you noted by running the command in the task scheduler. (For example, HP Customer participation utility task, Carbonite, etc). Explanation below:

    • Search for Task Scheduler in the start menu.
    • Locate the task in the Window(HP Customer participation/Carbonite).
    • Right-click the task and choose Disable.

    Restart your PC and your logins would be retained.

    Background: These steps disables the tasks which use S4U, which is the reason for this unexpected logout behavior. In case you need those tasks, make them non-S4U, i.e. enable the "Do not Store password" in the task scheduler. Disabling the tasks would not affect anything on your computer, though.

    The issue would be likely fixed in a future update. Appreciate your patience.
