command "VBoxManage.exe startvm VMNAME" fails while user desktop is in locked mode

Post by Shallies »

My OS: Windows 10 22H2
Currently using VirtualBox 7.
My question is: From VirtualBox 6, command "VBoxManage.exe startvm VMNAME" and "VBoxHeadless.exe --startvm VMNAME" will fail if user desktop is in locked mode.
This is not the case for VirtualBox 5.
As I have a scheduled task to start a VM, I wish the VM can be started while desktop locked.
Looking forward to your help.
