Hi, your HTPC is configured to auto-log in, but you need it to lock immediately after login so desktop services load while remaining secured. The .vbs script you added works when logged in manually, but once automatic login is enabled, the lock feature fails. You mentioned testing with a test.bat that only displayed a command window—this didn’t run under auto-login, but did when you logged out and back in. Running Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64-bit locally isn’t on a domain, which might affect policy settings. Consider adjusting the local group policy or checking for conflicting scripts. Let me know if you need further guidance.

This was the specific location I used the instructions on, and it led me to the present situation.

It functioned but took a long time—about 15 to 20 seconds. That wasn’t ideal.
