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.

Had the same problem.

Solution: Control Panel/User Accounts/Reset security policies.

I have the same problem with being logged out if I leave the computer for just a second. It is annoying having to constantly input my pin number. I tried the same solution, but there is no RESET SECURITY POLICIES offered when I go to User Accounts. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

When I leave the computer alone for a minute, the screen times out and returns to the login screen where I then need to reenter the password. It happens so often that I stop using the computer all together because it has become too much of an annoyance. I do not want my screen to lock unless I decide to lock the computer on my own. Is there a feature that disables the computer from going into the lock mode?

i had the same problem, i found out my graphics card (gtx 980 sli) one fan had got caught on the case from when i applied new thermal paste and wasnt cooling the card, once i fixed that, not had a problem since, perhaps check ur gpu if u have a dedicated one?
