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

    Mine was short lived..... problem came back after walking away from my computer for 45 mins. Came back to see everything was signed out just from going to the Lock Screen.

    And I had everything you mentioned above enabled.

    I figured it out!!!!!

    Thanks. Try the following:

    • 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.
