Hello Yakup,

Unfortunately, what admins can do in Windows 10 is just set scripts or email reminders for users to change password. Microsoft removed the functions that we used in Windows 7 like : rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL password.cpl or similar that opened the GUI for changing password.

Seems logical, for a number of reasons.

Best regards!

Ctrl+Alt+Delete cannot be sent from a program. That key combination generates a hardware interrupt from the keyboard. The whole point is to not allow some nefarious software to trick a user into giving away their password. It's been that way since, well, just about forever!

Just have your code create a message box telling the user what to do.
