Re: Windows 10 blocks send keystrokes?

It's necessary to work in locked session. Keyboard and mouse simulation will not work. You can use Excel action s to open excel document, get and put data, run some macro in document. Thanks. The built in "Excel Open Document" works when PC is locked and the save and close actions also wo...

Re: Windows 10 blocks send keystrokes?

Rukbunker, thanks for the reply, however the keystrokes command not working when my PC is locked is what brought me to where I'm at now. As long as my PC is unlocked, the send keystrokes works perfectly and I don't have any issues. However, when my PC is locked, "send keys" do not work whi...

Re: Windows 10 blocks send keystrokes?

Ok, I thought it was working properly, however it is only partially working. The task opens the excel spreadsheet and after my "pause" commands, it saves, closes and emails the spreadsheet as it should. However, nothing actually updates while the PC is locked. Macros and VBA code doesn't r...

Re: Windows 10 blocks send keystrokes?

I finally got this working by using the regular "Open Excel document" action first instead of the command line open. It works perfectly now even when my PC is locked! Thank you for the awesome software!

Re: Windows 10 blocks send keystrokes?

OK thanks. I have decided to go a different route and I built a macro to save and close the workbook. I have added the Excel run macro action and then I log off to see if it will work, but I keep getting an error message that says "Excel object doesn't exists. Open Document first" but the ...

Re: Windows 10 blocks send keystrokes?

It worked fine on my Windows 7 system, but maybe I had something enabled or disabled on it that allowed it to work? Any suggestions of how I can get around this?

Windows 10 blocks send keystrokes?

I've had Robotask for a couple months now and I really like it. But I've just moved to a Windows 10 from a Windows 7 PC and the "send keystrokes" part of my tasks do not work anymore when my PC is locked?
Anyone else had this issue and how can I fix it? Thanks!

Wait On Excel File to Load Before Saving and Closing

I have a task setup to open an Excel spreadsheet (using the Run program/Open Document because it's a .xlsm and I couldn't get it to work using the open excel command). I need to introduce a delay after it sends the command to open the spreadsheet in order to allow it to fully load before doing some ...
