Lock windows workstation using Python
This can be done with the LockWorkStation()
function from user32.dll:
This function has the same result as pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del and clicking Lock Workstation.
In Python it can be called using using the ctypes/windll FFI from the Python stdlib:
import ctypes
ctypes.windll.user32.LockWorkStation()
A good solution that makes us avoid using Libraries/DLL files is to use the command prompet/ power shell.
try running this command in your cmd rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation
....The PC is Locked!!
so we can use subprocess to run this command like this:
import subprocess
cmd='rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation'
subprocess.call(cmd)
