  1. "Dynamic Lock Not Working" - WHAT IS THAT?


    I suddenly have a pop-up on my screen telling me Dynamic Lock is not working. There's a place I can go to alter the settings and pair up my device. There is no explanation of what it is, what it does, who has created it, and certainly no choice about whether I WANT it to be working.


    However, I have never previously heard of this "Dynamic Lock". I don't know who has sent this pop-up; it is unsigned, and it could be any piece of hackware that's found a way onto my computer. I don't have a smartphone, and I'm beginning to feel like an alien on my own planet because of this; I resent that. Who would have the colossal arrogance to assume they know best how I ought to live, what I want or don't want on my computer, and wouldn't even bother to announce who they are, when they bring these changes about?


    Well, that's a clue in itself. It must be Microsoft.


    Where can I go to find out what this is all about, please?

    :)

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you get a message Dynamic lock is not working. I’ll certainly assist you with this.



    Dynamic lock is a feature in Windows 10 which allows you to use devices that are paired with your PC to help detect when you’re away, and lock your PC shortly after your paired device is out of Bluetooth range. This
    makes it more difficult for someone to gain access to your device if you step away from your PC and forget to lock it. For more information, see
    Lock your Windows 10 PC automatically when you step away from
    it
    .



    It could be possible that a device such as mobile phone connected to your computer is not within the Bluetooth range that is the reason you are seeing this message. In case you had your phone connected to the computer and seeing
    this message, to fix this, just go to Start >> Settings >>
    Accounts >> Sign-in options >> Dynamic lock and select
    Scan for device.



    This will automatically detect the phone and connect it back. Make sure the device is in range and Bluetooth is turned on.



    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare
