What actions requires an unlocked screen?

As the subject line says, does anyone have a list of the actions (e.g. Navigate/Activate Application) that require an unlocked Windows instance to function? Thanks...

Although some functions can work behind a locked screen, for enterprise grade RPA you disable screen locking and secure access to the virtual environment rather than the desktop of each VM. The kind of functions that won't work with the screen locked are things like surface automation (screenshots), global clicks and keys, activating windows.

Hi John, i used one of the action in login agent ie ""Unlock screen"" and found that the action is not working as expected "". when i execute the action i get an error response as ""ERROR:  : : The operation has timed out."". Could you please guide or suggest how to unlock a windows screen with our actions Thanks
