Forum Picture Gallery

[zimp]

I have discovered that since the last Windows 11 update (June 2024), when a logged in user enters the Picture Gallery the login is lost. This effectively has disabled the Picture Gallery. Also, it is preventing my (Windows 11) computer from keeping me logged in to the forum between sessions.

The forum and Picture Gallery software has not changed, this is due to something Microsoft has done to Windows 11.

I also run a virtual Windows 7 computer (on my Windows 11 computer) and everything runs as it should on that.

I will try and find a solution to the problem.

PS Everything works correctly on my phone (Android 14)

Hi Dennis, may this is not Windows related. I do have similar loss of login at the picture gallery on a chromebook, with chromeOS.

Hi Bert

Thanks for the info. Has it ever worked on chromeOs?

It always worked (for me) on Windows 7 and 10. I have been using Windows 11 since October 2021 with chrome as the browser. It has failed to remember the login on a couple of occasions but has always returned after the next Windows update.

I have just tried Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 and it is working fine.
I have also tried Firefox on Linux and that is also working fine.
It also works correctly on chrome on my android phone.

I might wait for the next Windows update (early July) before I do anything desperate.

Hi Bert

An update.

I have tried chromeOS Flex on my PC. (Booting and running from a USB memory stick)

No problems, chrome remembers my login both for the forum and to and from the forum and the picture gallery.

Hi Dennis,

I just checked Firefox, Chrome and Vivaldi browers on Linux. No problems with forum and gallery
