I do not have the "Local GP Editor" location "User Configuration Preferences Windows Settings Drive Maps" and there are no entries in the GP Management GUI.

I hope someone can show me how to do this on my home PC that, as far as I know, is not on a Domain. The drive is an NAS currently configured as N: and I have already issued a NET USER /P:YES command. That's probably this sort of baloney. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/pre...4%28v=ws.11%29 I don't think that's for non-Enterprise users. It's intentionally nasty.

Another interesting possibility is "System Unattended Sleep Timeout" which is a hidden setting that can override "Never Sleep" in "Power Management". See https://winaero.com/blog/add-system-unattended-sleep-timeout-to-power-options-in-windows-10/ And https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-open-advanced-settings-of-a-power-plan-directly-in-windows-10/ Implementing this with Unattended set to "0"= never appears to have stopped the unwanted screen saver operation. More tests to follow. FYI I am using Mystify.scr set to 600 minutes which is unsecured for 10 hours and overnight for my batch run is not the problem but during the day is if I left the house without manually running the scr. |
