Script Won't Run with Monitors Off Topic is solved

[Vaklev]

Hi guys, I made a script to lock windows within 5 mins, what I like to do is turn off my monitors and walk away from my desk, and then running the following script with a 5 minute wait time before the lock windows is executed. However it doesn't seem to work when the monitors are off, it only starts the timer once I turn the monitors back on but I am already at my desk!

Code: Select all

^j::
MsgBox Locking Windows in 5 min.
sleep 300000
DllCall("LockWorkStation")
return

Please help

The five minute wait starts after you dismiss the message box. Could it be that you only do that when you see it with a monitor that's on?

You are 100% correct sir! Thank you! No wonder it was working before I added the msgbox and then it wasn't, I will just add a command to close the msgbox within 5 seconds of opening thank you!
