I use visual studio code 2022 and i want to code a program to unlock my window laptop. I don't know where to start, someone can give me some function win api related to my problem? (I used to code some program basic like scan directory, find file, ... by C - use winapi)
Whether you want to unlock window with usb use winapi? or unlock window use winapi?
If you just want to use winapi to unlock window, as RLWA32-6355 and documentation said, to unlock the workstation, the user must log in. there is no function to unlock window.
If you want to unlock a desktop programmatically, as far as I'm concerned you need to write a custom GINA module. Refer to the thread: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsdesktop/en-US/61c5994e-f4dd-460b-98d3-c412ac2052f6/how-to-programmatically-unlock-a-desktop?forum=windowssdk
If you want to unlock window with usb use winapi, in my opinion, it is related to usb drive. If so, I'll help you add the "windows-hardware-wdk "tag.
Thank you
The Windows API LockWorkStation function ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-lockworkstation ) can lock a system. However, there is no function to unlock a system. This is mentioned in the LockWorkStation function documentation which says "To unlock the workstation, the user must log in."
You can see the VB source code of USB Raptor (USB Raptor Code)
It kills Explorer and other things...
