4802: The screen saver was invoked
On this page
When the workstation activates the screen saver in response to a period of inactivity this event is logged.
To find out when the user returned and unlocked the workstation look for event ID 4803.
There is a relationship between this event and 4800 (workstation locked). For Interactive logons you may see the following sequence:
- screensaver invoked, Event ID 4802
- screensaver dismissed Event ID 4803
- console locked: Event ID 4800
- console unlocked: Event ID 4801
The understanding is that when screensaver is active, Windows does not view console as locked - it is only locked when there is keyboard or mouse input - that's when user sees the Ctrl-Alt-Delete screen - then finally the unlock event.
This can be verified if you don't check the box "require password" in screensaver configuration. In that case you will see only 4802/4803
