I logged a case with Microsoft unified support like months ago on this and they have been no help at all. They were suggesting me to change the script to something else but I'm sure my scripts work. I am going to refer them to your article and see what happens.

Iβm having a similar issue with Win32 apps with PowerShell scripts where they don't even seem to execute. Sorry I hadn't had a chance to dig deeper. π

Youβre right. Logically it shouldnβt work. We cannot ask windows to lock itself and then give commands to sleep once itβs locked. Windows has a setting to allow apps to manage sleep settings. Turn that off and it might work with OBS.

Personal Data Encryption requires Windows Hello for Business to unlock the protected data, right?
Well.... I guess not.
Logging in with just a password still gets you access to the protected data.

Are your Windows Autopilot enrollments failing on the Microsoft 365 Apps?
One simple misconfigured policy could be the reason...and itβs not just Autopilot. Installing other apps from the Company Portal could give you the exact same issue.
