lock the screen via Send("#l") doens't work (win10)

[argv1]

Hi folks,

I would like to lock my screen with

Send("#l")

on a windows 10 machine.

Outside the script this works. Also other commands like

Send("#x")

or

Send("#r")

works while

Send("#R")

doesn't work.

 

I also tried

Send("{LWinDown}l")
Send("{LWinUp}")

Doesn't work either. :/

Run("rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation")

 

Does this work? Works for me on Windows 7

[argv1]

that works, thank you very much

Same thing than _WinAPI_LockWorkStation ()

Is there anyway for the reverse???

 

I mean, to check if the machine is locked and unlock it.

I may run that compiled exe periodically from task scheduler.

I have also an question with Send, how to do Ctrl + A (select all) with Send()?

@Floops can you answer for this also

@ur hmm not from the top of my head. But I can look into it when I'm home if noone found an answer by then.
