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.

Seems as if this should just be a setting or something, unless, Uh Oh, there is no setting hence no fix.
Come on guys.

Go into Personalize/Change Screen Saver and set the time to what you want. Click OK for the Screen Saver and Save Settings for the Sleep page. See if this doesn't fix your problem.

No it doesn't. If you had read the entire thread you will see you are like the 50th person to suggest that and as we keep stating sleep is turned off and screen saver is turned off. Even the post you directly replied to said that.
