Meshcentral: Custom keyboard shortcuts "Win+L" is not locking Windows 8/8.1/10 and instead does nothing

Created on 19 Jan 2021  路  6Comments  路  Source: Ylianst/MeshCentral

When using the "Win+L" keyboard shortcut in the "Desktop" tab of MeshCentral on Windows 8/8.1/10, it will not lock the screen and instead does nothing.

I'm still on MeshCentral v0.7.48.

So, in previous versions, if you selected "Win + R" as a shortcut to send, it would not send the keys at all but instead send a special command to lock the computer. I removed this in v0.7.48 since it should have been for "Win + L" anyway and it was a hack. I need to work on a correct way to lock the remote account and/or figure out why sending "Win + L" does not work.

Ok....to clarify the "Win+R" is now working correctly but the "Win+L" does nothing at all on the 0.7.48 version. This key combination DID previously work just fine I believe.

Weird, WIN + L never worked for me. In any case, screen locking is an important feature, I need to work on fixing this.

Not sure if that will help in resolving the issue, but Win+L does not work from mobile version(android) either.
MC2 0.7.53
Agent on Windows 10 x64

For me win+L just send the L letter

For Win10 client Win+L does not work either (rest of combinations are fine)
Opera Browser: Does nothing
Mozilla: Opens Start Menu
Chrome: Does nothing
Running latest MAgent and MC2 v0.7.70

Also tried to delete Win+L shortcut, and to recreate it again - result same, does not work.

Not sure if that is Agent issue or MC2 server itself - @Ylianst please fix this

Edit: Win+L is Working on Intel AMT H/W connection, but not on Mesh Agent connections
