I can't remember where this option is in the Control Panel. Maybe it's not in
Control Panel...
 
What do you mean 'automatic logoff' ??? Can you explain? Sleep mode?
Migration?
 
Do you mean AutologON? If so and if you have Tweak UI installed, look at
Logon. If no Tweak UI, go to run on the Start Menu and type: control
userpasswords2 and click OK

Hey guys, I'm talking about when you leave the computer idle for a few
minutes and it logs me off. I guess it's going into sleep mode, but I'm not
sure. It definitely logs off though, because I have to re-enter my password
to log back on. In other words, when I move the mouse and the screen comes
back up, it's the log in screen instead of my desktop.

Click to expand...


Control Panel -> Display -> Screen Saver page. Uncheck On resume, password
protect (or show Welcome screen).
Control Panel -> Power Options -> Advanced page. Uncheck Prompt for password on
resuming from standby.

Good luck
