How to stop being logged out of everything automatically when I turn off my laptop

Can anyone help me please?  I installed a Windows 10 update on 23 June 2020 and, ever since then, whenever I turn my laptop on (after it being shut down) I find that have been logged off from everything.  This didn't happen prior to the update and it is happening every time I turn my laptop back on.  So it looks like when I shut down my laptop it is automatically logging me out of every application so when I turn it back on I have to log in to everything all over again (Outlook, OneDrive etc.)  Is there anything I can do to stop this?  It's infuriating!  Also, info that is usually remembered on websites that I use frequently e.g. ID numbers, passwords etc are also cleared whenever I shut down my laptop, even though I am checking the 'keep me logged in' boxes.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

    If the issue doesn't resolve by itself (which it should), then you can try some of the troubleshooting steps from here: https://www.windowsdispatch.com/fix-signed-out-of-everything-on-reboot-windows-10/.

    Does this mean I can update now through the link, or do I need to wait until the roll out? Thank you for your help!

    You need to be a part of Windows Insider Program Slow/RP to install this right now. Insider Builds are beta builds that may have rough edges.

    Thanks for letting me know! Hope this fixes the issue. It is very annoying having to sign in every time!

    A potential fix for the issue is available in the Insider Builds 19042.786. Expect this update to roll out next month for stable releases. An optional update would be available in the near term.
