I found the answer for type("E", Key.WIN), the correct input is type("e", Key.WIN)
But for type("l", Key.WIN), it still dosen't work

If your goal is to lock windows machine use this Sikuli command

run("rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation")

Thanks, your command works fine.
I just study SikuliX, and I still want to know why type("l", Key.WIN) and type(Key.DELETE, Key.CTRL + Key.ALT) can't work in SikuliX, could you tell me the reason?

This is a restriction of the underlying Java Robot class, which is used to simulate keystrokes.
