I am having the same problems with Credential Manager after updating to May version 2004. I had to revert back to Microsoft windows 10 1909 version and now everything is back to normal. I hope Microsoft fixes this soon as I want to use my Local account and not the Microsoft account.
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.

2020-10-02T19:25:02+00:00 I was already using a Microsoft account to login and not a local account. Still have issues.
The solution to that one is suppose to be. Convert to a local account (don't use the same password). restart. Convert back to your Microsoft account. Restart. Apparently that should rebuild whatever it is that is missing. Note I had previous tried the reverse and that doesn't work.
However since i switched to a Microsoft account I have gone a week without any problems.

2020-10-01T20:25:26+00:00 It appears that the problem occurs when using a local account to logon to the computer. I changed my logon account to Microsoft and the password problem went away. After 2 weeks, I changed my logon account back to local. Guess what, the password immediately reoccurred. Without updating passwords, I changed my logon back to Microsoft logon. I don't have any idea why this has been happening as I had been using a local account for ever.
Microsoft needs to resolve this! as I spent weeks trying to resolve.
