The Windows 10 May 2020 Update doesn’t surprise anybody with the issues it’s causing for some users. It may not be a massive OS upgrade, but it’s certainly bigger than the regular cumulative updates that cause all manner of Windows 10 PC problems.

The latest such bug is causing login problems for some Chrome and Edge users.
Windows 10 May 2020 Update website login issues
It appears that installing the Windows 10 May 2020 Update may cause your Chrome or Edge browser to clear or otherwise lose saved login details.
One user shared to the Windows 10 Subreddit how they’re forced to re-authenticate into websites after each PC boot. They claim that this problem started after installing Windows 10 v2004.
In addition, the browsers are unable to remember the user’s OneDrive and Google login details. So, the user has to supply their user name and password each time they boot their PC.
Anyone else having this issue? After the 2004 updates, I need to log-in after each boot and reauthenticate myself. It’s also doing flakey thing with my Chrome and Edge log-ins as well into Goggle. Especially Chrome, it doesn’t remember any of my log ins after an hour or so, or after reboots. It sometimes happens with Edge as well.
This is not the first time users are reporting browser issues after installing the May 2020 update.
According to some reports, the update may cause Chrome to clear all your cookies. Not only is the bug deleting saved passwords, but it’s also clearing sync configurations.
Microsoft hasn’t confirmed these issues yet.
