I don't think glenn was trying to lock his remote system, but the local one, in which case, Winkey+L is still the correct approach.
It does sound like his local system got unlocked when it lost the RDP session to the remote system however...which isn't something that should happen...

Yeah, I was just hoping I was misunderstanding him.

Strangest thing I've ever seen with RDP:
Had some app opened (in the RDP session) that displayed a combo box. Found out that somehow, even if I minimized the app, the combo box was still being drawn on the screen (floating on the desktop on its own) and I could interact with it (open/close the expandable list, pick an item...). Although I've had witnessed that sort of thing a couple of times in my decades of using Windows.
But what makes this situation unique--when I minimized the RDP window, the combo box was still there (on the host's screen!) and I could still interact with it. How this was even possible, still to this day I can't even begin to speculate.

I remember that bug.
This is possible because RDP isn't passing a picture between the computers but rather sends GDI commands to the host.

Interesting...never thought of it that way.

Have you used RDP with a windows server?
You share the clipboard... I mean, when you copy something, another user logged in at that moment can paste your clipboard if the ctrl+v comes in something that can handle it as long as you remain logged in and no other user fills the clipboard..
It happened us a couple of times randomally, then I noticed it and could reproduce it.

All the time.
And clipboard sharing is definitely useful (between the local and remote systems), but you're right...two different people shouldn't be sharing the same clipboard content between themselves...

If I copied local and paste in RDP it was safe
But if I copied in RDP, everyone could paste in RDP (not sure if paste local was crossed too)

Were you logged in as the same user on the server?

Nope, not even in same office (subnet), heck.. sometimes not even in same land.

That isn't quite correct. If I RDP on to a server, I can press windows key and it will bring up the windows start menu (on the server). So it does get the key press.
However, if I press WIN + L, then it does seem to lock MY machine, as opposed to the server.

So it isn't the Win-button as such, but the mapped command
|

I had thought of that

Hmmm, be more reason to skeptical of remote desktop...

Did you use Ctrl+Alt+Del, Enter?
or Win+L?
I had to switch to Win+L after 25 years of the previous because if I did not wait for a bit before hitting the Enter key, it would just eat the keystroke and then the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen would time out.

No. That's the birthday of Captain Kirk and, somehow, also of William Shatner.
