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.

    Hello,

    Microsoft Edge has been updated to Edge Chromium.

    Chromium is the underlying code of the web browser developed by Google.

    Both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge Chromium are customised versions of the same web browser now.

    I'm just recently experiencing the same thing, but I thought it was related to my new assignment to Microsoft 365.

    I never store passwords browsers and I've changed the settings for 'require sign in' to "never" (settings->accounts->sign-in options).

    Even worse, it seems every cookie is removed every time I reset Windows. I only using Chrome as the browser though. Am I only allowed to use Edge when logged in to M 365?

    Hello

    There was a patch due to address this but unsure whether installed yet.

    Also read that cleaning cached passwords has resolved it for some.

    Can you try to Clear Cached Passwords

    The first thing you need to do in order to fix your issue would be to clear your cached passwords located in the Control Panel. Here’s how to do it:

    Go to the Start Menu and open up the Control Panel.

    Set the View By, located under the address bar on the right-hand side, to Large Icons.

    Navigate to User Accounts

    On the left-hand side, click on ‘Manage your credentials’

    Select the credentials for Lync, Outlook, and Microsoft in both the Windows Credentials and Generic Credentials.

    Click on Details and then select Remove from Vault.

    Exit the Control Panel and then restart your system.

    I did this and I *think* it worked!!! This has been driving me NUTS. I was/am using office 365 and having to re-log into all my gmail accounts through there, adobe acrobat, one drive and countless other apps.

    I too am having issues... each and every time I reboot I have to re-login to absolutely everything.  Google account is "paused", I get a message that I need to "fix" my Microsoft account, in addition to re-logging in to each and every application/website I touch.  Is Microsoft ever going to address this issue?
