/*
This script has been written and then thoroughly tested only on a Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64 with a single monitor setup connected via HDMI - hence results on other setups may vary
Known limitations:
● Input from the system wide keyboard shortcut of >>Alt + Control + Delete<< is still not blocked, due to it being rooted too deeply
● Input from keys >>Wake Up<<, >>Sleep<<, and >>Power<< is not blocked. If needed, behavior of those keys [including their complete deactivation] user can define for operating system set at: Windows 10 > Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Power and sleep buttons settings
● Rarely the monitor half-wakes: it turns itself on but fails to receive a signal - and thus makes a search through each possible signal input method [assuming the monitor is capable of doing so and is set by the user to behave like so]. The root cause of this incomplete waking up remains unknown ▶▶▶ THIS IS WHAT THE >>NEWLY ADDED TEST<< IS FOR IN THIS FILE

● setting of: Windows 10 > Settings > System > Display > Scale and layouts > Change the size of text, apps, and other items > 150%
● setting of: Windows 10 > Settings > System > Display > Scale and layouts > Display resolution > 3840 x 1600
