Windows 10: Why did the Windows 10 update of June 13, 2019 delete my login names and passwords,...

I was crushed to find that after this afternoon's Windows 10 update that I couldn't login normally into the many websites I visit. I don't keep my passwords offline on paper, so it became really awkward to re-establish my access.


Losing my Microsoft account login was the most awkward as it gives me access to my main e-mail account. My secondary account, too, is a webmail account, and the login details for that were also deleted.


Fortunately I have a an older 2nd laptop (Windows Vista) that gave me connectivity to my main e-mail account, but the secondary account was created more recently so those login details were not on the 2nd laptop. Now I have to create new passwords everywhere, so as to be able to re-enter them into my regular laptop. This time I will commit the login details to paper (so much for the "paperless" office).


Why were my login details deleted in the first place?

Windows 10 - Deleted account appears in login and not able to login

Thanks for the reply Anu...

I am not logged in with the microsoft account so when I click on reset password on the windows login page I see a popup to enter the cd for the password recovery which I don't have it

This is a local windows account that I deleted from the command prompt in my previous login

for reference here are the steps that I followed

• Initially had Windows 7
• upgraded to Windows 10
• Didn't like it much as I have to run everything as administrator otherwise the application will not open
• All my previous work is moved to a different user account which is a master admin and I have to keep trying to access to that folder
• So I used a RECOVERY option in windows 10 to go back to Windows 7
• Got a popup requesting to delete the accounts created in Windows 10
• Using command prompt deleted the user account(local user account and not the Microsoft account.Read somewhere in blogs.(net user and then delete user from cmd prompt))
• Got the confirmation message in cmd prompt window that the user account has been successfully deleted
• Restarted my machine and I am surprised to see the login window (the one that is deleted in previous steps)
• I tried resetting the password but requires password recovery cd which I didn't create after moving to Windows 10

 

Password issue

After going through the steps to make a new password, after a week or two, my login credentials are no longer valid. I'm forced to make a new password all over again. It seems to happen if I don't login in a certain period of time. Does our passwords expire???
