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.

    Hi, I'm afraid I can't be of much help to you. This issue has completely resolved itself for me but i don't know how or why. All I did was leave my laptop on constantly. It has got so bad that I couldn't shut it down because it was taking so long to put it right when I rebooted. Anyway, after many, many weeks it was shut down accidentally and when I switched it on everything was as it should be. It's bizarre! I'm not confident that it won't happen again though so I tend to keep it switched on. I hope you manage to get yours sorted out.

    This is happening to me as well, ever since the last update. Super annoying....when will this be fixed? Will we be notified?

    Ha, I have been a lifer with PC and finally broke down and got a Mac. There are things I don't like about the Mac so I use both, but more and more I am using Mac because of problems like this that don't get resolved timely.
