    Any way to Lock screen when monitor sleeps


    just as the title says. I have my monitors set to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. I DO NOT let my computer sleep or hibernate etc.

    I am wondering if there is a way that when my monitors sleep my screen locks as if i keyed in "Winkey+L"

    thanks. all the searching i do gives me something else.

    Hello,

    If you like, the Lock computer and Turn off display context menu added by the tutorial below may work for you for this as a on demand option.

    Turn Off Display cascading context menu - Add in Windows

    You can enable require sign-in after a specified time when the display turns off below for what you asked about though.
