Can't Stay Signed in to any Google Accounts with IE 11
Used to work fine, but now I can't stay signed in to any Google Accounts with IE 11 on just one of several Windows PCs:
Here's how I normally use my Google account. I set all my browsers to open tabs for Google, Gmail, Google Maps and Google Calendar at startup. I use Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE 11. All latest versions. I set them all to remember login credentials so they login automatically and open the desired pages. All browsers on all devices work fine except on one device where only Google auto logins have stopped working correctly.
Starting in May 2016, on my primary Windows 7 desktop, every time I open a browser it opens the correct Google bookmarks but none are signed in. I have to enter my email and password each time by typing.. I stay signed in for the session but have to re-enter credentials if I close and open the browser.
ATTEMPTED RESOLUTIONS:
I have reset all browsers to factory stock and have painstakingly rebuild my saved credentials. I have used CCleaner aggressively to clear caches and other files.
What fixed my issue ONLY with Chrome was to turn off "automatically log in" and "ask to remember passwords," then clear cache & cookies, restart and re-enable those two settings. This made Chrome automatically log in to Google and Gmail, etc.
I changed Firefox settings so it automatically logs in to a family member's Google accounts and that works. But not with my Google account.
With IE I followed Microsoft instructions to reset and even to edit the registry to make the browser ask to save passwords again, which worked perfectly except with Google accounts. I often see the tab open on browser launch and briefly display the logged-in Google Calendar page, then flash to a default login screen. It's as if it instantly logged me out.
I am an advanced user and can’t find a fix despite searching the Web for weeks. . I don't want to have to make a new user account on Windows 7 or reinstall Windows to resolve this. Can anyone help?
