Hello! I have a trouble with starting a process on the computer, if its screen is locked. Process doesn't run. Is it possible to start a process on a computer, if its screen is locked? If yes, please tell me, how can I do this? Thank you in advance! P.S. English is not my native language :)

Hi Shkavro, Have you tried to take a look into Login Agent? There are predefined ""methods"": ""Is Locked"", ""Unlock Screen"" so you can check whether the screen is locked and unlock it when needed. Regards, Tomek A.

TomekA, sorry, do I understand right, that process can be executed, only if screen is unlocked? It is not safe...

The process does exactly what the user would do. So yes, the computer should be unlocked. This is why virtual infrastructure is recommended. If you are going to use physical PCs then you need to assure they are physically secured from any unauthorized access.
