Description
## Environment
Windows 10 machine
## Reproduction
- Screen is locked
- Press the `Alt-key`
- Press `Alt-F` (default search hotkey)
- Press `Esc`
- Screen is still locked, but you are now focused on the terminal in the background and can type any command
Instead of pressing `Alt-F`, one can also press the `Down-Arrow-Key` to access the context menu, allowing you to arbitrarily open new terminals.
## Suggested Fix
Disable `Alt` commands when locked.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating the Windows screen-lock handling and the keyboard paths for Alt-F and the Down Arrow/context menu. Done means those commands cannot reach or open terminals while the screen is locked, and the reported reproduction no longer exposes the background terminal.
