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 have disabled the Scheduled Task named 'HPCustParticipation HP ColorLaserJet MFP M278-M281' and all seems to be sorted now thanks (Run whether user is logged on or not was set to 'Do not store password').

    I need more details if that is the case.

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

    Do you see something as an output?

    It appears to be corrected for me too.  I will give it a couple of days before I am all in. 

    Microsoft has fixed this issue.  Go to the Microsoft website & download the "new" Media Creation Tool 2004, & create a new installation disk.  Back up your data.  Then install a brand new Windows 10 OS on your computer.  All of our home computers are working great after "rebuilding from a "clean" install.  I suspect there was a "bug" in the prior builds.  Good luck ladies & gents.

    Nope its not fixed.  At least in the standard sets of fixes available.  It does help some who are using their Microsoft ID for Logon, but their are easier ways to fix that.
