I want my Windows devices to lock automatically after some idle time, but I don’t want them to switch to screensaver or sleep mode. Can this be configured from the Hexnode portal?

@arthur , yes, this can be done using a Windows password policy in the Hexnode portal. While configuring the password policy, just set the time (in minutes) under the Auto-lock setting. Once configured, the device will automatically lock after the specified period of inactivity without entering sleep or screensaver mode. Users will then need to enter their password to unlock the device.
