Hi everyone.

I am using Windows 10. I have WhatsApp on my Desktop. Each time I close the app, it will require a sign-in when it opens again. I did not experience this when I installed the app on a Windows 11 desktop.  I have checked through the settings of WhatsApp on my desktop but all to no avail. Having to sign in each time I open the app on my desktop is frustrating and annoying. Please any help?
