Hello

Can you run Ui Automation without unlocking Windows screen?
Background: I got this strange request from customer, as they insist this would be the safest way. They’re concerned that even though computer may be in restricted area someone may be able to access company data when robot is running on unlocked screen. I suggested to have computer running without attached screen or just on virtual machine.
What are the best practices regarding this?

So you can only interact with Ui by using sendwindowsmessages flag? No Image/keystroke automation?
