[Solved] Browsers keep "half-resetting" after laptop restart

[mantazzo]

So, I have a problem with my current laptop which I haven't experienced before.

You see, I have a laptop with an SSD and HDD. The laptop is new, less than a month old. Windows 10 OS (Version 1703) is installed in my SSD. Browsers (Firefox, Chrome) are also in SSD. But, there's some strange things happening - after every single restart browser history and cookies clean up automatically... And it's happening in both browsers, although not all cookies are cleaned. It's annoying, to say the least... and it also doesn't synchronize with old history properly too. Question - is there anything I could try doing to fix this behavior?

Could you say

• How does it annoy you, what does it do?
• Have you installed a cleaner that works automatically when the browser closes

For example 

1. CCleaner - activated, not free
2. Advanced SystemCare
3. Wise Care 365 Pro

Or something similar like these above given.

1) It's annoying because I mostly have to re-login to almost every single site I visit, and also if I need to restart PC it doesn't save browsing history so that if I need to recall where I was browsing... You get the idea.

2) Yes, I had CCleaner, but I double checked to make sure any auto-cleaning would be disabled. On my old laptop it didn't do that.

 

EDIT: So a quick update, I uninstalled CCleaner and restarted the system - nothing happened. Strange... I did check if any possible automatic cleaning was on... Oh well, I guess problem solved, maybe.

Hackers love people like you that have your logins saved in your browsers.  Makes it very easy to steal them.  Even easier if you take your laptop out and connect to free WiFi somewhere.  They all use devices similar, but not quite as good, as the one I have that pretends to be the website of anything that it detects a device is trying to login in to and then saves the login data.  It works like Stingray for cellphones only is wireless for any wireless device.

 

So if you want to be safe, don't keep login information on your computers.  I don't even allow that on my desktops systems that never leave my house.  Security, security, security.  Three words every computer user needs to learn because the opposite of that is stupid, stupid, stupid.

To each their own. I prefer keeping history and cookies, if you're paranoid then sure, you can always clean it. And also don't derail the topic please, I didn't ask about security issues.
