Disable screensaver program

This type of screensaver group policy could avoid anyone from accessing another users workstation while they are away. If you want to disable screensaver group policy then you may try different mechanisms. Depending on your user privileges you might be able to temporarily or permanently disable screensaver group policy.

Note : The Group Policy Editor requires Administrative privileges to disable screensaver group policy. What finally fixred a similar issue for me was enabling System Unattended Sleep Timeout in Advanced Power Options and changing it from the default value of 2 minutes. This thread is locked.

Hello Jeremy, since there doesn't seem to be a way of detecting RemoteApp Sessions, I will have no other choice then make a choice between disabling the screensaver or having the RemoteApp locked after some time. Thanks anyway for looking into this.
