    Power Automate UI flow (desktop) to lock a PC/workstation

    ‎01-06-2020 10:41 AM

    Step by step walk through of creating a Power Automate UI flow to lock your workstation

     

    We will be using a manual flow button to trigger the UI flow to lock the PC

     

    This can also be done using the location trigger (geofence) - so the PC can be locked when you are away from your desk

    Cool! Just not no-code/low-code enough for me as a beginner. How about only recording the mouse clicks to lock the Windows?

    I tried locking with mouse click. it somehow fails to perform the last click (User>Lock) which is frustating.
