Administrators for either the local computer or thedomain can unlock a locked computer by entering theirusernames and passwords at the login prompt. This will log thecurrent user out, but will not log the administrator in. At thispoint, any user with login rights can log into the computernormally.
Note: If you are the local computer administrator,log into the local computer rather than the domain. Also, by using theadministrator login to unlock the workstation, you will erase allunsaved work.
If your domain username is in the Administrators group, you canenter your domain name and domain password, and then select the properdomain from the drop-down list. You are not required to log into thelocal computer. This will also unlock the workstation and erase allunsaved work.
We have multiple domain joined Windows 10 Enterprise/Education computers that are exhibiting extremely long delays in locking and/or locking the screen (i.e. Windows Key + L, Start > User Display Name > lock, Ctrl + Alt + Del > Lock). These delays range anywhere from 30 seconds to more than 5 minutes, does not always happen for both lock/unlock, and has randomly started and stopped on systems. We are using SafeGuard 8.00.0.251 clients managing BitLocker.
We have installed SysMon on systems with this issue and do not find any noticeable irregularities during the lock/unlock operation. We have also done packet captures and have found no SafeGuard related traffic during the lock/unlock operation. We have noticed that enabling the "High Performance" power profile in Windows Power Options has reduced the delay, and in some cases eliminated it entirely at least temporarily.
Users have been very patient and are less concerned with the extended time to lock the computer as they are with unlocking. In the last week we have noticed more of these cases rising up and are wondering if there is something related to Windows patches.
I have put a support ticket in with Sophos asking for help, but when they replied (finally, after about 6 weeks) they stated that it was a "known issue with BitLocker", that it is normal for lock/unlock to take up to 2 minutes and if it takes more than 2 minutes then there is "another" issue, but they never clarified what that issue might be. They did suggest decrypting the client, reinstalling the SafeGuard software and re-encrypting, but that is not an acceptable solution when there are a dozen or so machines with this issue.
Is anyone else experiencing this kind of delay with screen lock on Windows? Has anyone found the root cause? I have not found any relevant information from Google searches looking more broadly for this issue on encrypted computers using BitLocker.
With the default Ubuntu Oneiric UI is it possible to lock a window in place? That is to say, once the window is positioned I would like to press a designated "Lock" key or select a designated "Lock Window" menu item from some menu which causes the window to become unmovable, un-resizable and un-closable until I un-check a menu item.
Sometimes you may need to pause using your computer for a short while, and you don't want unauthorized access to your device. Activating the lock screen feature is an excellent way to protect your information and apps. Microsoft released the lock screen feature with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and the latest Windows 10 lock screen tool. Apple users can also use system menu options to lock screens on macOS 10.13+ computers.
Whenever you plan to leave your computer unattended for a short while, you manually activate the lock screen feature that requires the user to enter their password to access the display window. The automatic lock feature only activates after a preset time. But you don't want your screen and all the windows you opened exposed for that long. That's when you must manually lock the computer screen. It protects the information stored in your PC and ensures the device continues to run in the background.
As mentioned before, Windows and Mac computers come with the lock screen feature. You only need to master the procedure for activating it to put your screen on standby without shutting down the processor. Below are the steps on how to lock screen on Windows 10 and Mac.
As mentioned earlier, only users with the latest macOS versions (Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra 10.13+) can use the computer's default system to put the screen to sleep. Read on to understand how to lock a Mac screen in a few easy steps.
Locking Windows or Mac screens does not log out the user account. Therefore, the applications will continue running. To start the screen saver, you'll have to unlock the screen by entering your password.
Computer users have been using various tricks to lock their Windows or Mac screens. The innovative Parallels Toolbox is a powerful and easy-to-use multi-platform application that lets you carry out tasks and commands on Windows and Mac without the need to reboot. With over 30 one-touch buttons in a single feature suite, you can do anything on your computer, from turning on the Do Not Disturb feature to locking the screen.
There's a lot of online information on the tricks for locking computer screens, but some cumbersome procedures that non-technical users can't comprehend. While you can use your Mac lock screen shortcut or Windows Start Menu to lock the computer screen, Parallels Toolbox provides you the ability to lock your screen in three steps. An upside to using the Parallels application is that it comes with over 30+ one-button commands to simplify your tasks.
Unless your computer is in a secure space that is accessible ONLY BY YOU, you must run a screen saver that will automatically lock your screen after 15 minutes of inactivity and require a password to unlock it.
Our DC is Windows server 2008 R2 and our workstations in our company are Windows 7. I am trying to set up a GPO that will automatically lock workstations after a predetermined time(no screensaver-just lock them). I have found all sorts of info on the web and on this site on how to do it-and it seems pretty simple. However when I create the GPO and apply it and test, it is not working. Here is what I have done:
I went to a workstation and did a gpupdate /force to refresh the policy and waited the 60 seconds---no dice. Screen did not lock. Same thing after rebooting the computer and after refreshing policy(and rebooting) on a different computer. The GPO is made at the default domain policy level so I know that there should not be any permissions issues or policy override problems. Every computer gets this default domain policy.

A Very Simple Way On How To Lock Then Unlock Windows 7 or 8 With A Key.
Lock and unlock all versions of windows with a key switch and an Arduino Leonardo Board.
-You will need a ON/OFF key switch that allows the key to be removed in both positions
-Arduino Leonardo
(The Leonardo Board differs from other Arduino boards in that it uses a single microcontroller to run your sketches and for USB communication with the computer. The Uno and other boards use separate microcontrollers for these two functions, meaning that the USB connection to the computer remains established regardless of the state of the main microcontroller. By combining these two functions onto a single processor, the Leonardo allows for more flexibility in its communication with the computer. It also helps to lower the cost of the board by removing the need for an additional processor.)
-Green LED
-Red LED
-2 x 220,ohm resistors
Switching the key locks your computer and indicates a red LED, switching back will unlock your computer and indicate a green LED. This also works if your account is passworded.To add your password follow the instructions in the sketch.
Very little Arduino knowledge is needed to make this. This is my first project. It really is very easy.
The breadboard diagram can be viewed here:
The sketch can be downloaded from here:

I have the same problem. From the message history in AnyConnect I can see AnyConnect is disconnected after login from a lock screen. I also have a problem with Start Before Logon. After logon in Windows AnyConnect is disconnected and needs to reconnect
I had the same problem when I first installed Windows 10 using version 3.1.10010. I traced it down to the "Start VPN before user logon to computer" setting. When this is set, the VPN disconnects every time the computer is locked. Try clearing the checkmark - it resolved the problem for me.
As another user stated, there is a problem with the start before logon component on windows 10 too. I can connect the VPN at the logon screen, but as soon as I actually log on to the computer, the VPN is disconnected. I suspect the two problems are related. For now, I have instructed out Win10 users not to use the start before logon feature.
After unchecking "Start VPN before user logon to computer" setting, connection isn't disconnected everytime I unlock Win10 computer. With this setting unchecked, "start before login module" isn't loaded.
This way I don't have to reconnect VPN everytime I unlock screen (connection is active until unlock), but it would be very nice if I could login to AnyConnect before Windows login. I have same issue with two Win10 computers.
With "Start before logon" component installed, I can connect VPN before logon to Windows, but connection gets disconnected before i can proceed logon to windows. I haven't found any way to use "Start before logon" correctly on Windows 10.
Folder Lock comes with a powerful file shredder and a cloud-based backup solution as well. The demo is free, while the full-version is $39.95. Knowing how to lock a folder in Windows costs a bit of money, but the functionality and customization makes it worth it. Now you know how to password protect a folder.
