Will Personal Gateway Run While Windows is Locked?

I understand that the Personal Gateway will not run if I am logged off or if the machine is off. I am curious to know if the gateway will still run if I simply have the locked the PC?

    Hi bwelsh

     

    In my experience yes it still will run. My understanding is that when the PC is locked, you are still effictively logged on.

    Hi bwelsh,

     

    Based on my experience, the gateway won't run when we lock the computer. Also you can see from that article: Computer type.

     

    "Many desktop computers go to sleep, scheduled refresh cannot occur if it’s asleep."

     

    Best Regards,
