    Is anyone else suffered from this bug?

    They say Windows 10 version 2004 has this bug where credential manager won't remember password between restart.
    https://www.zdnet.com/article/windo...oft-says-its-fixing-bad-password-amnesia-bug/
    This bug is acknowledged by Microsoft and says fixed since 19042.789
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...40a-a18c-be2e50047a75?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us

    But I am experiencing the same on Windows 10 version 20H2 19042.804, and problem only started this week.

    On a new day it seems, the Credential manager "Windows Credentials" would be empty, and strangely "Generic Credentials" would be populated saying Modified: Today.

    Is this the same bug as the MS acknowledged bug? But I'm not seeing any tasks coming up when running the PowerShell command in an Admin PowerShell.



    03-Mar Edit:
    Problem hasn't returned, the passwords I added on 26th-Feb are all still there. I've changed nothing...... this is really strange.

    So my conclusion: when I have a problem, I ask on Bit-tech forum and forum magic will fix it for me.
