Hi I'm also getting the same problem where chromium based browsers logoff from all my accounts and strangely war-thunder forgets my login information, so it might be something with windows?/ chromium windows interactions? 

I found the solution on chrome help page, may work may not. But "Sign in to windows with your microsoft account" seems to have fixed it for me.

You can find that in your windows settings under sign-in options.

So now coming near to a month, my chrome sync is broken. Let me explain, a few weeks ago I noticed chrome sync was paused, I thought something I did might have caused it, but then it kept happening, so being frustrated I switched to Firefox as my default browser (default browser as in the actual setting in windows). This happened every time my computer restarted or after a fresh start everyday. P.S. this was in chrome v83. Now there is nothing wrong(so far) with Firefox and I am actually enjoying it, but I do want to know if chrome can be fixed.

 

Two weeks ago I noticed chrome had been updated to v84 so I tried it again and chrome sync was working so I made chrome my default browser(in windows settings) again. The next time I restarted, boom it was doing the same thing. After a few times of switching the default browser, I realized that when I have chrome set as a default browser sync stopped every time the PC essentially restarted.

 

Since then I have tried multiple solutions from googling around to no avail. I even tried reinstalling chrome, that didn't help either.

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue ?

 

 

Also I tried the new Edge based on chromium and boy is that nice. But there google services just automatically logged out every time the PC had a fresh start. All the other website stayed logged in. Any idea about this ?

Manually sync chrome then completely uninstall it, deleting its folders,your user data, and everything, wipe it completely from the computer. Reinstall it and then sign in and sync everything back. It could just be an issue with your user data saved on the computer and just uninstalling the chrome app doesn't get rid of it, you have to go into your appdata folder and manually delete the chrome folder.

ok...nevermind the few days, I tried what you sent and it still turns sync off after every restart/boot. Any other ideas ?
