Despite the many efforts put forth by the developers at software giant Microsoft, bugs in Windows 10 seem to be inevitable. It is true that these affect a certain number of users, as a general rule, but they keep appearing every so often.
Serve as a clear example of all this that last November, Microsoft itself recognized an error with the passwords saved in Windows 10 . Specifically, this means that the system stops remembering the passwords of programs such as Chrome , Edge, OneDrive and other applications. It should be mentioned that this is a problem that seems to happen randomly and on different programs. Therefore, this means that error tracking is more difficult to detect.
What is the error with passwords in Windows?
To give us an idea, actually what happens is that due to the failure, Windows 10 prevents the mentioned software from remembering the account credentials. In other words, the affected user has to re-enter their username and password after using their PC with the affected programs. As several users recently pointed out, after upgrading to Windows 10 version 2004 , the system no longer remembers credentials in applications across the PC. This includes the web browser, among other things, and I continually get logged in again.
Thus, the published reports on the matter say that the problem appeared for the first time in April. Of course, now it seems that it is finally being fixed, something that we will see in the next cumulative update that is sent. Therefore, the solution to this serious failure with the credentials is expected to arrive in February or March 2021. Among the affected applications, there is talk that they forget the passwords OneDrive , Outlook, Edge , the Microsoft and Google accounts, Chrome , etc. .
Microsoft fixes password problem in Windows
From what is now known, Windows Task Scheduler sometimes affects the credentials saved in LSASS. This is used for the User Encryption Key, so as a result passwords are ignored and users are asked to re-enter them, which happens randomly. Because of this, Microsoft has now discovered a fix for the frustrating bug that prevents applications from storing account credentials.
That is why the solution is currently being applied to the testers of the firm’s Windows Insider program. This is why it is expected that it will begin to reach the whole world shortly. At the same time those of Redmond want to make clear that this is a Windows problem that affects a small number of users. But with everything and with that it is already solved in the latest Windows 10 Insider channel.
To all this we must add that the failure also deletes cookies in web browsers, which makes it a little more serious for those affected by all this.
