An APU (10) has a gas turbine engine (28) and a starter generator (26) to be selectively driven by the gas turbine engine. A sensor (34) senses windmilling of components associated with the starter generator. A lock feature limits rotation within the starter generator when windmilling is sensed. A method of operation is also disclosed.
