If Lock on Disconnect is enabled,
- Switching from a non-Backstage logon session will lock that machine.
- The host disconnecting will lock that machine.
If Lock on Connect is enabled,
- Switching to a non-Backstage logon session will lock that machine.
- The host connecting will lock that machine.

Hi Jpafundi,
We have started looking into this requirement and would like to know How are you joining backstage when problem occurs 1.Starting a regular session and then swapping to backstage or 2. via 'Join with Options'?
Can you please help us with a use case?
This is not a feature request. This has been the functional implementation for almost 2 years, no matter how it was retroactively "intended" to work.

Hey Rishikesh,
It would just be beneficial if the Screen knows not to lock after using Backstage. if say we need to do background work on a machine, so it does not affect the user's screen while they are working. Say I just need to run a quick script in the background, I cant do that without it interfering with the user currently on the machine we are remoting into. let me know if that clarifies

When using the Backstage functionality, users will be locked when disconnect.
Would like to have the option to disable lock guest machine when using backstage.
