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've done this multiple times and it doesn't fix the problem    I have it set at NEVER, but it doesn't obey very well.

    Agree.  No 'reset security policies' is present when I go to user accounts.
