I need to execute a program on every log on. By that I used these energy settings to test the behaviour:

And I force the log on screen on wakeup, too:

Now I created a new task and created a trigger for At log on of any user, but it never fires. It fires only if I restart my machine completely or it wakes up from hibernation but not if only the monitors are switched on again.

I did some research and some people suggest to use the event id 42 or 1 as trigger, but this does not work for Windows 10.

Is there a separate event for "log on after monitor wake up"?

Maybe there is an easier way (feel free to answer), but this is how I solved it by myself:

1.) Open the Group Policy Editor by running gpedit.msc in the windows search.

2.) Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Advanced Audit Policy Configuration -> System Audit Policies - Local Group Policy -> Logon/Logoff and activate the monitoring for Audit Logon and Success

3.) Now create your task and set a trigger for the protocol Security, the source Microsoft Windows security auditing. and the event 4624
enter image description here

Finished!
