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.

    I do not know.  I just disabled the two tasks that used that today, so too soon to tell.  No forgotten passwords today, but I have had days like that before, so I want  to wait a week before I will feel good about it.

    Just to confirm, disabling the task mentioned above will resolve the issue?  I do not need t use a Microsoft login to resolve the issue now?

    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.

    • Firstly: open a command prompt on your machine: Click START button, RUN and enter the word CMD.  This launch a command prompt C:.
    • Now enter the following command (you can copy and paste this text into the command line: Get-ScheduledTask | foreach { If ((xml).

    The command will give you a list of tasks that use the S4U service.

    • Now open the task manager and disable the tasks that use the S4U service: On your start menu select RUN and enter the command taskschd.msc
    • This will bring up the task scheduler.
    • To disable any of the tasks that were listed above, right-click on them and select "DISABLE"
