how do i lock remote desktop screen (RDP or MSTSC) ?. Is there any shortcut key for lock screen in remote desktop. For example in local desktop if we press Windows key + L key combination it locks the local client computer, is there any equivalent version of key combination in RDP ?

Best Answer

you could create a shortcut somewhere on the remote machine (i.e. on the desktop) that points to "rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation" and in the option fill the "Shortcut Key" with something like CTRL-ALT-L, it will lock the session
