Hey Seffy,


That “Trusted Computer” checkbox should prevent the automatic logouts, interesting. Have you fully logged out and tried logging back in with the box checked?


I wonder if it didn’t work the first time since it said you were already logged in. I’d try logging out fully and then logging in again with the box checked. If it keeps happening, let us know and we can look for a different cause.
