I have the exact same problem, except on Windows 7.
I was running Windows XP and IE8 and never had the problem. When my new
computer arrived with Windows 7 (build 7600) and IE8, the problems began.
Originally it was several times a day, but after changing the "Delete
browsing history" options, it happens less frequently.
After much hair-pulling and screaming, I have finally managed to find the
pattern.
Every time I install a Windows Defender definition update, Internet Explorer
refuses to acknowledge the existing cookies.
I hope the solution is to disable Windows Defender completely, and install
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware instead. The $25 is worth it, especially since
Windows Defender creates such a mess.
Anyone else who can confirm my findings? And better yet, anyone with a
solution? ;-)
