Windows 10: Autofill Fields

Normally, when I enter info like email address, physical address or entries with labels that are repeated, my PC attempts to autofill-a really great feature. But it no longer works & I haven't changed any settings. Where can I correct these settings? All of my Sync settings are set to 'on'

4. Select the check boxes for the options you want AutoComplete to use, then choose
   OK.

For Microsoft Edge:

1. Select the More actions button.
2. Select Settings > View advanced setting.
3. Turn on Save form entries.

For Google Chrome:

1. At the top right, click More
   
   
   
   Settings
2. Scroll-down and click on Advanced button.
3. Under Passwords and forms, click on Autofill settings.
4. Turn on Autofill forms.

For Mozilla Firefox:

1. Click on the Firefox menu icon (Three lines at top right of screen).
2. Select Options, then go to Privacy & Security.
3. Under Forms & Passwords, check the box for Ask to save logins and passwords for websites.
4. Under History, click the down-arrow next to Firefox will and choose
   Use custom settings for history.

Looking forward to your response.

Windows 10 login field autofills with asterisk characters

As the subject subject description states, Windows 10 login field autofills with asterisk characters (for all users of the computer) after booting up the Acer desktop computer. I can watch the field fill with somewhere around twenty characters, which then
has to be removed by backspacing to remove them. Then I can put in my password and logon.

This is new in the last day, after I dealt with a malware/redirecting browser issue by installing and cleaning with Malwarebytes. Google suggestions from years ago deal with hardware/keyboard issues and sometimes firmware issues in Windows 7, but there seems
to be no recent discussion on this topic regarding Windows 10. I'm wondering if anyone has ideas regarding the cause of this issue.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
