Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004 causing issues with credentials

Hello, I had a problem after installing the Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004 causing issues with credentials. Specifically my problem related to email accounts in Outlook not remembering the account password and a similar problem with Adobe Creative Cloud. No matter how many times I would enter the password, it would always ask again for the password when restarting Outlook and similar problem with Adobe Creative Cloud it would always ask me to sign in again after rebooting my computer (which loads it automatically). I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and did you find a solution?

I was not able to find a solution to this problem that worked even after manually removing credentials from the Credential Manager and adding them again in the respective applications, so I uninstalled the feature update and reverted back to the previous version of Windows. In case someone else needs to revert back and uninstall Feature update to Windows 10, version 2004, I found a good article with instructions here: https://pureinfotech.com/uninstall-windows-10-2004-2020-update/. The caveat is that you must do this within 10 days of the install as the old version of Windows is automatically deleted after that time.

    The "Get-ScheduledTask" command is not valid in command prompt.  From a much earlier post in this topic:

    Run PowerShell as an administrator and enter this command:

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

    I am not a PowerShell person, but the way I opened it was to right click on the Windows 10 Start icon in the lower left screen corner and then click on "Windows PowerShell (Admin)"  After PowerShell starts, cut and paste the above "Get-ScheduledTask...." command.

    Just a reminder.  Keep track of any task you disable.  In some cases it MAY also be a service you need.  In that case you may have to consider other solutions (e.g. modifying task to only run when signed on, running manually, etc), or swithing to a Microsoft Login.

    We still need to see progress from Microsoft to fix the problem.

    Hi Sumit

    I ran the query you suggested, and disabled the tasks that were using S4U.  This has successfully resolved the problem for me!

    Thank-you SO much for your invaluable assistance!

    How do you disable the S4U Tasks?  I am trying to decipher but not a machine tech person.

    To all of my peers. 

    These different fixes did not permanently fix the issue(s) for me.

    Yes it is time consuming however "rebuilding the Windows 10 OS" solved "all of the problems noted in this thread.  All of my laptops & desktops are working seamlessly after new Windows 10 OS builds using the latest Media Creation Tool USB.  Thanks for all the folks who asked for solutions.  Take care.
