Issue: Every 5 minutes of inactivity my computer logs off. I want this to go away!

Never had this before, never touched any settings. It's annoying when I want to leave a download or do a virus scan then come back to find everythings been paused do to the log off.

I feel like there something on my computer I can click and fix this. Unfortunately I was born with a disease that makes it impossible for me to see the obvious (In others peoples point of view). (Not really)

Anyway, I'm going to have a sandwich and when I (Log back on my computer :glare: ) I hope to find a caring person who can help solve this issue. Help me stop my computer from logging off from inactivity.

Click Start/Control Panel/Power Options. Then choose Change Plan Settings. You can set them for a variety of times or "Never".

Sounds like it is set to log off every five minutes then. I think you need to change that from either control panel or the desktop (just right click on the background image you're using for example).

destroy your computer immediately. clearly it has chosen your computer as a starting point........ http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1230079-australia-launches-theskynet/

Also control panel->Personalization->Screen Saver make sure that "On resume, display logon screen" is unchecked (or just disable screensaver entirely)

I know about the control panel things. Thats not the case, somethings Else is causing it :down:

Not screensaver, check box ext. I know about that stuff.

Edit: nvm then

Try power options in the advanced settings look for "require a password on wakeup"

I once had screen saver cause it despite screen saver being disabled. It kept doing it until I reenabled screen saver and disabled it again. Still don't know why that was the case

Your computer has a virus. It's called Microsoft Windows. I recommend doing a reformat of your hard drive. :thumbsup:

Have you tried changing your theme? Maybe disable Aero.

Add gasoline and insert flame.

No, no virus.

Hehe whoever said to add gasoline and insert flame. I like your idea but vIve spent to much money on the thing.

Laptop or desktop?

Desktop.

My computer resolved this issue itself. I don't know what was doing it but its gone.

I think I'll get this Thread closed. Thanks for the help/tips everyone.
