Lock Workstation

[09KR0058]

Trying to lock a Windows 7 machine via AHK. Normally, to do this you just hold down the Windows key and hit the letter l (lowercase L). I have tried it the following 3 ways, but none of them work:

Send #l

Send, {LWin Down}l{LWin Up}

Send, {LWin down}
Send l
Send, {LWin up}

Am I missing something obvious?

Look at the remarks on the # modifier for hotkeys

Win (Windows logo key). In v1.0.48.01+, for Windows Vista and later, hotkeys that include the Windows key (e.g. #a) will wait for the Windows key to be released before sending any text containing an "L" keystroke.

You might want to explore the Run command with information from here.
