since you mentioned version .471 and that's around when this feature was introduced, I suspect it might be related.

Because that behavior sounds like cookies aren't being saved

You are an absolute lifesaver HotCakeX . I had indeed added a site there to keep the cookies for on exit. I just now went back, removed that single site and restarted Edge....Bingo everything is back to normal. Thank you very much for your assistance. Should have thought of that. Gonna feedback now.

Thank you, very happy to hear that 🙂
by the way, these options mean that Only the cookies from websites you add there are kept. so any other website that is not on the list will lose its cookies once Edge is closed.
so I think Edge is doing what it's supposed to, because as you said you only added one site to the list, only that site's cookies are kept and the rest are deleted after Edge gets closed

Seems there is some kind of conflict there HotCakeX . I have always had this setting enabled so it should have been clearing cookies and other data every time I signed out before. Despite that I never had to log in on next visit to the site. Adding this one site to the exception list should have done just that. Made the exception not to clear the data for that one particular site while still clearing everything for all other sites as before. Or do I misunderstand? Please educate me.
