Persona profiles not syncing certain AppData\Local folders

Hello,

We have had constant report of users that will lose some of their local data for websites via Chrome or Internet Explorer where they will need to re-authorize their computers with 2 factor authentication. As of yet, we have not been able to determine what exactly is wrong. One thing noted is that while we have explicitly enabled the follow, the VMWVvp log file shows the are not in fact roaming. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues and/or has a resolution?
