Windows 10: I’ve tried to remotely lock my stolen device. Will it lock if someone does try to turn it...

I’ve tried to remotely lock my stolen device. Will it lock if someone does try to turn it on and connect to the internet? I did enter a PIN code to access it before it was stolen.

Remote Lock Feature "Frozen" - Lists Phone as Locked Even Though It Isn't

On the "Find My Phone" page, my phone is listed as locked while it definitely is not. It has remained this way for months, leaving me with no way to remotely lock my phone in the event it is lost or stolen. Can this be fixed?



I have:

• Restarted my phone
• Logged in and out of Live
• Tried multiple computers

Samsung Focus (WP 7.10.7720.68)

Stolen Computer! Need help with lock my device!

Recently my surface pro 6 was stolen and my only access to it has been on my account login. I've tried locking the device at least 5-10 times a day and each and every time I get a message that reads, "Unable to lock your device at this time. We will email
you when we are able to do so." I do have a face recognition and pin lock but still wanted to remotely lock the device.

Finally 2 nights ago, the culprit had turned my computer on and I saw its location. The sheriff department then went to the address but unfortunately the tracking system only puts you in a radius of where the device is actually located and it was not found.

After being transferred 6 times on the phone and 1 dropped call, I have been told I am out of luck and there is no way to lock my computer from Microsoft supports end. My question is, what is the point of the lock my device feature? How is this even possible????

Then it was suggested for me to cancel my account on that computer.....so then someone can just reboot and enjoy my old computer?

Microsoft, what in the world?

Sorry, but just needed to vent :/
