Windows 10 Lock input and screen

Hi,

Just testing 6.5 on Windows 10.  I see one of the improvements on 6.5 is that locking the screen and input (clicking the padlock on the viewer screen when connected to a host) is now supposed to work on Windows 10 hosts.  I am testing this on one computer that had the 6.3 host installed.  I did a remote install to upgrade it to 6.5 and rebooted it.  I did not see, as mentioned in the release notes for 6.5, anywhere to accept an additional driver.

Now when using this feature it seems to just do nothing (which is better than before when it would lock the remote computer).

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Ralph

Yes, that is what I meant.  Guess I'll wait until you release the new code and hope it works.

Thanks,

I notice that when I try to enable the screen lock on a Windows 10 remote computer, while it does disable the remote screen and KB and mouse inputs at the remote computer, but it also locks it.
On the RU Viewer I can enter a password to log back into the remote computer, but it immediately locks the computer again.

It also does not show the text for blank screen on the remote PC.

Version 6.3.0.6 on both ends, Windows 10 Pro both ends.
Is this a known bug?
