Password Manager does not shut down

Password Manager does not shut down when my Edge browser is closed and my desktop is sleeping. When I open the browser, Password Manager is active w/o requiring a login. The only way to shut down Password Manager is to shut down the computer. This is a recent problem (last 2 weeks); before that, it worked fine.
