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

Same issue here, on two PC's and problems started with a recent update. To make matters worse each PC has multiple accounts for work/play/kids and logging out a user also logs them out of services. List includes:

1. Chrome
2. Google drive sync
3. What's app web
4. Facebook
5. Websites (I assume because windows logged me out of chrome)
6. Duo (yes, someone actually does use it!! It's terrible :( )
7. Skype

Partial solution: Have bought a Chromebook and moved much of my work away from Windows.

Also tried the control panel suggestion, but I see no windows credentials and the generic credential names are meaningless so I've no idea if/what to delete. Also scanned each PC for malware etc. and they are clean.

This is getting ridiculous.  As well as being logged out of everything whenever I shut down, I'm now being logged out of Gmail while I'm actually using the laptop. Please, Microsoft, fix this.

So after a while I was so mad I had to do something while Microsoft did nothing. The only thing that helped me was creating a new local user. But as if it wasn’t complicated enough Windows did not want to let me create a new one. 

Steps I had to do to solve my problem:

    1. Enable administrator account via cmd

    2. Create new local user also via cmd 

    3. Log in as new user

    4. Log out and log in as administrator 

    5. Copy old user folder over to the new one 

I had to reinstall some things again but mostly everything was fine. Hope this helps.

Oh gosh, that sounds too complicated for me - I would no know where to start and fear I would make everything worse. I is so frustrating :(

Afterall it is not that hard.

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.

Help..... when I tried this I got as far as 'manage your credentials' but there were no credential listed? Any further suggestions welcomed.
