Windows 10: Why is edge forgetting passwords

After yet more updates being forced upon me I find allmy saved passwords for web sites are missing from my computers, I AM GETTING FED UP WITH MICROSOFT FORCING UPDATES ON ME WHICH COMPLETY MUCK UP THE MACHINES.

If they don't remove the abilty to network they trash something else


MICROSOFT YOU DO NOT OWN MY MACHINES I DO AND I WANT THEM SET UP A CERTAIN WAY NOT THE WAY YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE SET UP

It seems Microsoft Edge browser needs a repair on your computer. However we’d like to get more information,

1. Have you made any changes on the computer?

If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

• If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
  
• If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the
  
  Reset your password webpage.
  
• If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
  

If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

• If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
  
• If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.
