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.

    Has any one come up with the solution for Windows 8 and the nuisance of it logging you out so frequently.  It's a pain in my butt.

    YO YO YO! If box isn't check in screen saver setting (mine wasn't checked like others). CHECK IT, APPLY, UNCEHCK, APPLY AGAIN. It worked for me. Sorry if you hate all caps but hopefully this will save some poor souls from the cruel creatures who run Microsoft.

    Keep calm and chive on

    its a windows BUG!!!

    I finally found this fix prior to reading your fix. Even though my screensaver was set to none, I opened it and found it was set to 1 minute and checked. THIS IS A BUG Microsoft.

    NONE means NONE!!

    what a bunch of flaky coders
