Hopefully this will be simple to answer:

I can work from home by using TeamViewer on my home PC to log into my work PC remotely. 

However, when I use TeamViewer to log into a Windows PC which has been locked with Win+L, will anyone near my PC at work see it "wake up"?  Or, will it stay locked from their point of view?

My primary concerns are making my computer non-secure by unlocking it remotely (ie, anyone sitting nearby would not be able to just walk over and access my laptop), or making my KeePass passwords non-secure  by allowing people at work to see them in the TeamViewer session.

I'm guessing that this is basic information known to regular TeamViewer users, but being able to log into my work PC remotely is a new feature for me, and I wanted to be certain of what's happening on the other end.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Teamviewer by default will show the same image to both ends

ie this is meant as an instructional tool.

You can turn off the remote screen by
Actions >> show black screen
