  1. “Lock” function not working


    I got my laptop stolen a few weeks ago and just found out about the find my device and lock options. I tried to lock my stolen device however I get the error message saying the device is unable to lock. In the my devices page it does say the computer is dead so is this the problem? Or is there any other way to lock it?

    :)

    This is likely to be one of those where, as I don't know what you've already tried, I'll have spent time suggesting what you have tried.

    That's why I asked for a clear list of what you have tried.

    Do you see this when you toggle caps lock?

    Rotation lock key is not functioning

    Since the Rotation lock is still grayed out, our next step is to uninstall/Update your display driver. To uninstall your your drivers, you can do the following:

    • Press the Windows and X key on your keyboard and click on
      Device Manager
      .
    • On the Device Manager window, click on the Display adapter drop-down.
    • Right-click the driver and choose uninstall.
    • Restart your computer.

    If it is the same, update the said driver by following these steps:

    • Go Back to the Display adapter drop down in Device Manager.
    • Locate your display adapter driver, right-click and choose
      Update Driver Software
      .

    We would also suggest that you go to your device manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your device.

    For further queries, feel free to post back.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
