Lock windows 10 every hour even when not idle

[FunkyCowie]

Hi

I have this terrible habit that I would like to stop, I will sit in front of my computer for hours without thought. This is bad because I recently suffered an injury to my leg from a motorbike incident and inactivity makes my leg swell around the ankle and foot, so not very healthy, but I do a lot of computer related work.

Is there a way I can get Windows 10 to auto lock every hour with out signing out (to avoid loss of work) I tried searching but my google skills seem to be failing me today.

Thanks!

Not sure you can set a auto lock timer while the computer is being used, but why not just set a 1 hour timer to remind you to get up?

A quick search and I found http://www.howtogeek.com/225211/how-to-set-timers-alarms-and-stopwatches-in-windows-10/

I have tried it and it's too easy to ignore sadly, I had used task scheduler to shut down my computer but it does it with virtually no warning so not ideal but forced me to take note. It would be great if there was a happy medium

There's a number of solutions here - http://superuser.com/questions/21179/command-line-cmd-command-to-lock-a-windows-machine

You could use Task Scheduler to run the following command every hour - rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

Can't seem to get it to work...

Sounds a bit extreme but set up an alarm that goes off every hour and put it on the other side of the room so you have to get up?

What about AMP WinOff? I use this myself to stop the pc going to sleep while streaming media to other devices.
