I followed the tutorial How To Get Email Notifications Whenever Someone Logs Into Your Computer, but it doesn't take care of PC unlocking (log in after Win+L). Did I miss anything? Thanks for any input!

The unlock operation doesn't count as a logon. As such your tutorial doesn't cover that case. If you go ahead and check the available Triggers for Tasks created by the Task Scheduler you will find that there is also a Trigger for workstation lock/unlock that you might use.

Thanks @Seth. I tried that one, with no luck. – user4015990 – 2017-03-08T00:46:04.520
Could you maybe get into a tiny bit more detail what you mean by that? How did you set it up? What was the result of the run using that setup? What worked and didn't work? – Seth – 2017-03-08T09:53:53.250
Thanks again for your comment. This screenshot shows my configuration. It works if the "Run" is manually clicked, otherwise, it won't work.
– user4015990 – 2017-03-08T21:56:30.157Did you check what the
Last Run Resultcolumn says after you unlock the WS? It might actually be an error that happens that prevents it from running successfully. – Seth – 2017-03-09T07:24:01.553Thanks, @Seth. As you may see from this new screenshot, the task ran successfully last time, but it was triggered by clicking the "Run" manually, not by "unlocking" the PC. I tried locking and unlocking the PC several times, not even once the task was triggered. This is rather weird.
– user4015990 – 2017-03-09T18:12:10.693Did you make sure to also set it to run without a logged on user? Essentially it's the same as in the tutorial just with a different/additional trigger (you can setup both triggers). If there wasn't any status it's really kind of strange. – Seth – 2017-03-10T06:29:46.827
