Windows 10: Credential manager - Web Credentials

For quite some time now I have been troubleshooting this issue, but can not find any solution to it yet.

Registry changes nor GPO setting help to solve this issue.


So, what I am experiencing.

I am running my laptop on Windows 10 Insider latest build with Edge Chromium.

I have disabled the IE feature from the platform.

Now, within the credential manager you have two tabs "Web" and "Windows" credentials.

My issue is with the web credentials.

Nothing that I do seem to get rid off these credentials.

When using the IE option cpl and remove these cred. I can see them latterly being remove from the vault directory where they are stored. Opening the credential manger also confirms that.

But the second , hours or days later when the "credential manager" service is restarted, they pop back into the list and on file.


First I thought this might be an cloud storage backup from which they are downloaded, but even with the Wi-Fi off restarting the credential manager service brings then back.

Procmon does not show me where they are being copied from, but just that they are being restored or placed on the filesystem.


Where the heck are these credentials stored and how do I remove these?


On the other hand the "Windows credentials" have no issue. Removed is Removed.


Ps. Not sure if this is the right group to post in. Your help is must appreciated.
