Default Logging Off

My PC has 3 user accounts. In the last few days it has been logging itself
off after a period of inactivity (going back to the screen with the log on
names). Not sure what I have done to bring about this change. How can I
reverse it?

Default Logging Off

The computer may not be logging off as you might think. Check your
screen saver settings and remove the "On Resume, display logon screen".
This will prevent the log on screen to display when you "wake" the
computer up.

Default Logging Off

Okay, lets try this:

The setting you are looking for is in Control Panel, Power
Options-Advanced. Uncheck 'Prompt for password when resuming from
standby.'
