So this weekend I had a issue with my machine so i decided to format and clean everything up.
Everything went well until I picked up my google account isn't saving at all. When i close Firefox my account disappears then I have to login again.
Though F*** dat go over to edge same thing, Internet explorer same thing. I started to dig further and came onto windows credential manager none of my web credentials saves its as if it just doesn't enter at all.

  1. I have tried the registry fix they have online.
  2. The PowerShell fix
  3. giving permissions to the fault
  4. updated windows
I am at wits end I don't know what else to try anymore has anyone come across this yet
 
So google accounts what i normally did on my old machine i would just login with forgot password and then click yes on my phone and it would login. I did the same on the windows 10 install on a local account and that is where i gotmy issue.

The fix
I switched to a online account. Logged in with my microsoft account on edge. Then logged on with the password on google instead of forgot password way and it stayed logged in.

I think the local account messed me around

Glad you got sorted.

Bit strange though as I use a local account without issues, but of well, as long as you're sorted
