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.

    There is a link on the left side of the control panel when you are in User Accounts. its at the bottom of the left hand list. Says Reset user policies. I am trying it now.
