I need to have my computer log off my account and to the login screen
Hi,
I need to have my computer log off my account and to the login screen after about 15 minutes or so of being idle or inactive.
I built a brand new PC this weekend with Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit.
I followed the steps in the tutorial at this website
automatic logout after inactivity/idle
But when I came into work this morning, my computer never logged off and it was still at my desktop as if nothing had happened.
Here's the error info from the Task history:
-------------------------------------
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational
Source: Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler
Date: 11/11/2012 10:18:29 AM
Event ID: 101
Task Category: Task Start Failed
Level: Error
Keywords: (1)
User: SYSTEM
Computer: ARTDEPARTMENT.greatputon.com
Description:
Task Scheduler failed to start "\Log Off Idle Session" task for user "GREATPUTON\Administrator". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147750692.
------------------------------------------
If I go into my task scheduler and actually run this schedule from there, it logs me off perfectly as I would want it to. But it's not running automated for some reason.
Do any of you have any recommendations as to why this wouldn't be working and if not, do you have any other recommendations or methods I could use to get the computer to log off of my account after being idle?
I can't set it for a certain time, it has to be after being idle or inactive.
Thanks a lot!
