Windows 8.1 password to use laptop
New to Windows 8 and yes it's terrible. The most annoying is each time I use the laptop, even when I close the lid and re-open it I am prompted for my password. Is there any possible way this can be eliminated. I sorted that out on windows 7 no problem but this 8 is a pain. Kind regards Jeff.
