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.

    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.

    It seems that the quality of Microsoft products is just going down the hill over time. I had Android phone, now iPhone and iPad and Microsoft apps are buggy everywhere. And now, I also have these log off issues...How amazing, Microsoft.

    The worst I think -as soon as you look for an issue - you see that people reported it years ago and nothing was fixed ever since. May be I should also, as one of the guys in this thread, think to move onto a Mac with their M1X chips next year and just run this "OS" in a virtual box when I need it.....

    If you could let me know the patch that addresses the issue that would be great, because I currently have all windows updates available and still have this issue. Also this suggestion doesn't work.

    I think I fixed it,

    try going into settings > shared experiences and turn everything off.

    I restarted twice with no issues
