If you are away to attend something important and there are children around your desk, I am sure you will not leave your PC keyboard unattended. This can cause trouble! While you can still lock your computer, there is another way – and that would be to use a Locker for keyboard and mouse software for Windows 10.
Free keyboard and mouse lock software
There are some good software programs that offer the user the freedom to lock their keyboard or mouse individually. Looked!
- BlueLife KeyFreeze
- Mouse lock
- Locker for keyboard and mouse
- Kid-Key-Lock.
Let's see their strengths!
1) BlueLife KeyFreeze
BlueLife KeyFreeze is a free keyboard and mouse locker for Windows PC. Its use is very simple. Once downloaded and installed, press ‘Ctrl + Alt + F"And you will notice that mouse clicks and button presses are effectively disabled.
To unlock them, simply use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl + Alt + F& #39; again.
If you want to explore more options, right click on the Keyfreeze icon in the system tray. Here you can choose to lock the mouse or keyboard with one click and customize the settings by selecting "The options".
This setting allows you to change the keyboard shortcut lock / unlock, turn off sounds and pop-ups, allow mouse movement and other settings.
2) Mouse lock
As the name suggests, Mouse Lock is lightweight and capable of providing protection to your PC by locking the mouse cursor in a location while you are away. When activated, the free program locks the movement of the mouse with a custom password and dims the rest of your screen.
Another strong point of this free tool is that it is a portable program. As such, it leaves no trace in the Windows registry or does not interfere with it.
