After awhile Windows 8 keeps logging me out. then I have to click then re-enter my password every time.
How can I disable this?
I only have one user account and will not have any others.

I went to tools, internet options, advanced, reset, reset.........it resolved the issue.
If you have the security settings to delete browsing history and cookies, for some reason lately it signs you out of everything constantly, even if you are in the middle of using a program and not sitting idle.
Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

This website is supposed to be a place where anyone experiencing a problem can look for answers and ask for help. For others it is place where they can share their knowledge or expertise and to help those experiencing problems. This website is not for rude, disrespectful people, with a holier-than-thou attitude to criticize and bash other people. That behavior is inappropriate on this website, so go back to your social networking website, where there is more of your kind and do it there. Please!

2013-06-14T15:58:27+00:00 I do not like Windows 8 and can name plenty of reasons why. Unless you can help me with the constant log in to every website problem you can save the life counseling comments for someone who asked for it.
I am trying to find a solution to this particular one of many issues I am experiencing..........
I was ready to help you, but when I saw your respond to others in this forum I'm having second thoughts. Guy who responded to you said absolutely nothing wrong nor insulting, and you're coming back with lightning bolts for no reason at all.
BTW, constant logins for every website is totally not related to Windows 8 and it's not OS level at all. It is your browser, cookie cache permissions that are not keeping your login information saved. It could also be some third party anti-virus/anti-spyware or even software firewall you're using.
