SDK: @auth0/auth0-react  
Version: 1.4.0  
React: 17.0.2

I utuilize `useAuth0` to access the context and parameters such as `isAuthenticated` and `user`.  
When I navigate through my App’s Header bar, everything works fine after I log in (e.g. isAuthenticated have the value `true`).  
However, if I go to my browser and type a specific route (e.g. [http://localhost:3000/profile](http://localhost:3000/profile)), the userAuth0() context gets erased and `isAuthenticated` returns false.

But, if I go to the Profile route through my Header bar, isAuthenticated returns true.

This is what my Auth0Provider looks like:

```
const Auth0ProviderWithHistory = ({children}: PropsWithChildren<{}>) => {

const onRedirectCallback = (appState: any) => {
    window.history.replaceState(
        {},
        document.title,
        appState && appState.targetUrl
            ? appState.returnTo
            : window.location.pathname
    );
}

return (
    <Auth0Provider
        domain={config.domain}
        clientId={config.clientId}
        audience={config.audience}
        // redirectUri={config.redirect_uri}
        redirectUri={window.location.origin}
        onRedirectCallback={onRedirectCallback}
        useRefreshTokens={true}
        cacheLocation="localstorage"
    >
        {children}
    </Auth0Provider>
);

```

};  
Any idea what’s happening here?

Hey there!

Can you open it as a GitHub issue in the auth0-spa-js repo so we can work on that directly with the repo maintainers? Once you do that please share the link to it with us here so we can ping repo maintainers. Thank you!
