I know that it is Win + L to exit, and you can start the screensaver with a hot key by creating a shortcut on the desktop with the necessary settings. But how do you get it all to work together?

Locking the system from the command line:

RUNDLL32.exe USER32.dll,LockWorkStation

create a shortcut on the desktop with the command that belk wrote, assign the shortcut key combination to the shortcut - and voila!

I've settled on a bat file for now.

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ribbons...\Ribbons.scr /S
RUNDLL32.exe USER32.dll,LockWorkStation

Works really crooked. Shows a splash screen, and if you move the mouse, it first throws it to the desktop and after a moment blocks the system.

Why are these options better than the key combination "win + l"? Screensaver still won't start.

I suggest adding start before calling the splash screen

<code class="xml">start C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ribbons...\Ribbons.scr /S
RUNDLL32.exe USER32.dll,LockWorkStation
