Stop currently running Windows screensaver from command line
- by Peter Bridger
I have a number of Scheduled Tasks running on a Windows machine, which is design to run stand alone and show useful information to the office.
Part of it's use is to run a screensaver that itself shows useful information.
There are some scheduled tasks which need to display information to the screen, however as the screensaver is running these messages can't be seen until the screensaver it manually deactivated.
How can the currently running screensaver in Windows be deactivated from command script?
