If computer is locked, Workspace Macro can not work, however our more advanced macro automation software, Automation Anywhere can work. Automation Anywhere has unique Auto Login feature with strong security protection that allows macros to run even if computer is locked. When you enable Auto Login, and any macro runs, Automation Anywhere will unlock the computer if it is locked and start executing your task. Once the task completes, it will lock the computer again. This eliminates the need to keep your computer unlocked for macro execution.
