If you are working on sensitive material and need to leave your computer unattended for a while, you can lock it so that no one can use it without your permission. While your computer is locked, all your programs continue to run. When you return to your computer, you can access your computer in the same way you started Windows. If the Ctrl+Alt+Del security option is enabled, you are required to press Ctrl+Alt+Del before you can enter a password.
Timesaver:
Press +L to lock the computer. The Windows key is located in the lower-left corner of the keyboard.
