Windows 7 IE10 Not Remembering Passwords

[Carbo]

Just did a fresh install of Windows 7. Installed IE10. I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious, but every time I go to websites previously visited, I am required to log in with my user name and password, even though I check off "Remember me".
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

When you are facing issues with Internet Explorer not saving login information, even though you have selected the "Remember me" option, there could be several reasons behind this behavior. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Check Browser Settings:​

1. Cookies Settings: Ensure that your browser is set to accept cookies, as login information is often stored in cookies.
2. Autocomplete Settings: Check if the Autocomplete feature is enabled. This feature helps remember and fill in your stored usernames and passwords.

   Clear Cache and Cookies:​

3. Clear Cache: Clear the browser cache to ensure that you are not loading outdated information.
4. Clear Cookies: Clearing cookies might help in refreshing the login information storage.

   Site Exceptions:​

5. Check Site Exceptions: Ensure that the website you are visiting is not in the exceptions list for which cookies and login information are not saved.

   Compatibility View:​

6. Compatibility View: Some websites may not work well with newer versions of IE. Try using Compatibility View mode for those websites.

   Security Software:​

7. Security Software Interference: Your security software might be blocking the storage of login information. Check if any settings or features in your security software are interfering with this.

   Reset IE Settings:​

8. Reset Internet Explorer Settings: If none of the above steps work, you can reset Internet Explorer to its default settings. This might resolve any underlying configuration issues.

   Additional Tips:​

   • Make sure your browser is up to date.
   • Try different browsers to see if the issue persists across all of them.
   • Ensure that you are not using any browser extensions that might interfere with saving login information.
   By going through these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue of Internet Explorer not saving your login information. Let me know if you need further assistance with any of these steps!
