Under Global Configuration settings > System > Session Lifetime, you could set the number of minutes. I've set it to 3600 (1 Hour). So, the expected behavior of this setting should be:
--Expected Behavior--
- User have logged in at 9:00 AM
- User closed his browser
- User opened his browser at 9:30 AM
- He should be logged in, irrespective of the remember me checkbox selection
--Current Behavior--
- User have logged in at 9:00 AM
- User closed his browser
- User opened his browser at 9:30 AM
- He is logged out
Any help greatly appreciated.

If you completely close your browser, it will remove many session related cookies which is why you typically have to log into sites again if you aren't using a remember me functionality. If your just close the tab for that website without completely closing the browser, the cookie should stay in the browser so when you come back later it would work as you expect.
Also, a value of 3600 for your session lifetime would result in a 60 hour session. The code converts the value of the
$lifetimevariable inconfiguration.php(the session lifetime option in the global config) from minutes to seconds.
