All apps lost permissions

[andyste1]

After restarting my HTC One m8 earlier, all apps seem to have lost their permissions. I'm now being prompted to allow permissions left, right and centre! Any idea what might have happened?

Android 6.0, Sense 7.0. The phone isn't rooted btw.

Welcome to Android Central! Did the phone just update to Marshmallow? Or did it factory reset recently?

Hi, no it's been on Marshmallow for a number of months now. There was no factory reset or any software update either. I just restarted the phone then started getting all these permissions requests, still happening now if I launch an app that I haven't used in a while (since that restart)!

Strange. See what happens if you wipe the cache partition: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10672

Mine has been doing the same everytime I restart or if my battery dies.
I have a love/hate relationship with this phone.
