While the update installed perfectly for the vast majority of Windows 10 2004 users, it has caused hardware and software problems for others. Right now, it appears that the update might cause cookies stored in Chrome to disappear once you close the browser.

Windows 10 2004 causing cookies issues in Chrome

The Google support forum is flooded with complaints about the unexplainable disappearance of cookies in Chrome. So, each time an effected user launches the browser and tries to log into a site, they have to supply their credentials afresh. Most users claim that this problem started after upgrading to Windows 10 2004. For example, one Chrome user says they tried uninstalling and installing different versions of the browser to no avail. Moreover, the update appears to turn off syncing in Chrome. That is causing problems for Windows 10 users that log into website accounts from multiple devices. What is even more peculiar is the fact that the deletion of cookies and pausing of sync seems to affect only Chrome. According to yet another user, Chromium Edge cookies remain intact even after upgrading to the May 2020 update. All the reported bugs may be a quality of life issue, but they have a significant impact on the browsing experience for the users. Let’s hope that Microsoft uses next month’s Patch Tuesday updates to address the issues. Have you installed Windows 10 2004 yet? Any trouble with Chrome cookies?
