  1. Windows losing passwords and preferences randomly


    Hiya,


    Recently I've been having a problem with Windows where it seems to forget my passwords for many applications, meaning I have to manually sign in to everything each time I restart. I'm running Windows 10 Version 20H2, and the affected programs are OneDrive, Chrome, Lastpass and Zoom, all which I now have to re-enter my password every single time I restart.


    Any help would be appreciated,


    Thanks

    :)

    Change or reset your Windows password

    • 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. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
