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 too have been experiencing this problem for about 6 weeks now.

I constantly have to sign in again to facebook, outlook and sometimes yahoo messenger.

Just another reason to hate windows 8 I guess. It's the epic failure of Microsoft's entire history, hands down.

I had a hard time just submitting this friggin comment, had to sign in to my windows live account three times.

:-(

It's old, but you obviously did not go through the whole thing before posting. Just 5 replies above yours, is just one of them, and there are multiple others suggesting similar solutions. Worst of all, it still does not fix this problem for many out there.
