Running Automated Tasks Without User Login or During Screen Lock

[nicholas97111]

Hello,

I am currently testing RoboTask for possible use in our company environment and I have a question about task execution in different user states.

Is it possible to configure RoboTask to start and run a task when there is no user logged into the computer? For example, can scheduled tasks continue working after a user logs out?

I would also like to know if tasks can be triggered while the user account is still logged in but the computer is locked. Will RoboTask continue running processes in the background in this situation?

This feature is important for us because some automation jobs need to work independently without requiring an active user session.

If anyone has experience with this setup or knows the correct configuration, I would appreciate your advice.

Thank you!

There is service mode of RoboTask for this purpose.
The service runs in a separate SYSTEM session and is not dependent on the user's session.

Read online documentation about peculiarities of application and service modes; how to install RoboTask service; how to access RoboTask service and control it.

System Service mode will open up new possibilities for you, but this mode also has its own specifics and limitations
