Hi @tlmarques, thanks for reaching us using the Live Community.

 

It could be possible by calling the required powershell commands from the Python code supported by the agent. 

Take a look and use this example I have created to automatically lock the screen after 10 minutes of inactivity:

import subprocess

# Set the auto screen lock timeout comand, the value in seconds is defined at "-Value"

result = subprocess.run(['powershell.exe', '-command','New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System" -Name "InactivityTimeoutSecs" -Value 10 -PropertyType DWord -Force'], shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)

# Check if the PowerShell command ran successfully and returns a message
if result.returncode == 0:
    print("Auto screen lock timeout set successfully.")
else:
    print("Error setting auto screen lock timeout:")
    print(result.stderr)
