Workaround for Microsoft Edge 86 not remembering website logins If you’re affected, follow the below steps to resolve the issue. “After upgrade to Edge Stable 86.0.622.38 now when I close Edge then open a website where I previously logged in, now I have to login again, also site settings not preserved for example in YouTube”Īffected users using recently released Edge 86, confirmed they’ve not set Edge to clear Cookies on exit. Meanwhile, Edge users on several threads took to Edge forum, Reddit, and answers forum to say Edge is asking to sign into each and every website when they close and reopen the browser. We’ve covered a workaround for that which MS is looking into.

Upgrading to Windows is still breaking apps such as Chrome and causing sign-in issues by clearing cookies on the restart and pausing Sync, this is still an ongoing thing. The company said it is investigating the problem.

Microsoft has acknowledged this and is currently offering a temporary workaround that keeps you signed in to websites when you close and reopen the Edge browser. Seems the issue is triggering when the user configures Edge to clear “Hosted App data” on closing.

Users who upgraded to “Edge 86 stable” are reporting, new Edge is not remembering website logins.
