Bgwing Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Is there a way to lock both computers with a single key stroke or key combination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Please provide more details about your machines (OS version, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwing Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Windows 10 Professional 64 bit on both computers. Active Directory Domain members. Synergy(64 bit) is version 1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 For sending a CTRL+ALT+DEL to the client machine, you need to use CTRL+ALT+Pause/Break instead. That being said, you can try setting a hotkey on your Server Configuration as shown below. Let me know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwing Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I tried CTRL-ALT-Pause and it didn't lock the client computer. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Have you tried it before adding the hotkey in the Server Configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 In this case, I'd recommend the following steps: Why doesn't Ctrl+Alt+Del work on secondary screens? If you use a Windows Vista or newer machine as a client: With the default Windows settings you can not enter a Ctrl+Alt+Del SAS (Secure Attention Sequence) over Synergy on the Windows lock screen. You can allow this behavior by allowing Services to issue the SAS in the Windows Logon Options. These are found in the Local Group Policy Editor. Go to the Local Group Policy Editor (Type gpedit.msc in the run menu) Dig down to Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Windows Components --> Windows Logon Options Open up the Disable or enable software Secure Attention Sequence option Set it to Enabled and then select Services and Ease of Access applications below, click OK You should now be able to issue a Ctrl+Alt+Del to Windows over Synergy while on the lock screen. Please note: Sometimes the Ctrl and Alt keys stick, so just press them each once to un-stick them. On Windows servers, Ctrl+Alt+Del is always intercepted by Windows and is never passed to Synergy. We have implemented Ctrl+Alt+Pause/Break as a workaround, which will send a Ctrl+Alt+Del sequence across to the client. Please note that the cursor must still be moved over to the client system for this to work. On Macbooks, the key labeled Delete is actually backspace and Ctrl+Cmd+Del won't work. However Fn+Delete actually is "Delete", so Fn+Ctrl+Cmd+Delete will act as Ctrl+Alt+Del on a windows secondary screen. I hope this works for you! Let me know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Can you try removing the "only on these screen" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bgwing Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 That is the combination I chose to use to lock both computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Is that after removing the "only on these screen" option @Bgwing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwing Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yes. I am getting a failure to register Hot Key error. That could be the root of the issue. What can I do to resolve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hi @Bgwing. I found an open issue in GitHub for this. This issue should have a solution when v1.10 comes out. Please bear with us as we strive to make your Synergy experience more seamless. Link to #3084 open issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgwing Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 What about the Hotkey errors I am getting? is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hi @Bgwing. Sorry for the late reply on this. That might be due to the rules you apply for that hotkey. What rules have you added for that hotkey by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
