I’m looking for a way to separate the functionality of “lock the PC” from “activate a screensaver” or “turn off the display”.
In my ideal world, these two functions would be on separate internal timers, and there’s some powershell or other CLI/API that I could call to reset these timers independently…
at least as far as I’ve been able to figure out, the only way to separate these functions is the black-and-white ability to “not lock the PC when the screen saver activates” … but what I’m looking for is something more along the lines of:
“after XXX seconds of inactivity I want to turn off the display, and (separately) after YYY seconds of inactivity I want to lock the PC”.
Also helpful would be some way to “reset the inactivity timer but ONLY the timer that applies to the turn off display or only applies to locking the machine”
