Windows 10: LOST LAPTOP how to trace and lock it

I lost my laptop yesterday. My account shows me that the "find my device" feature is off. I also tried to lock the laptop but it prompted microsoft can't lock my laptop right now and will notify me as soon as they lock it, etc.

My questions are, why it can't be locked? Is it because it's offline? How can I trace my laptop?

(i think my laptop was at sleep mode when i lost it and it does need a password to log in, but no log in for sleep mode i think...)

Thanks!

:)

Find My Phone or Device

Lost your phone or think someone stole it? Left your device somewhere? See your phone or device on a map, or ring, lock and erase your phone.


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Find and lock a lost Windows device


If your desktop, laptop, tablet, or Surface is lost or stolen, use Find my device to locate and lock it remotely.

To find the lost device, it must be running Windows 10 and be signed in to your Microsoft account. You can also use Find my phone to find, locate, lock, and even erase your Windows Phone.

Notes

• You must be signed in to the lost device with a Microsoft account for which you're the administrator. If you're using a work or school account, Find my device won't work.
• To send its location, your device must be connected to the Internet, have enough battery power, and use GPS.

Cheers.

Traces

Trace malware is a detection which typically indicates harmless pieces of leftovers also known
as remnants (registry keys, file fragments, folders) generally found after cleaning a previous malware infection. Traces are typically useless and not dangerous since the primary malicious file(s) has been removed. A
Malware.Trace detection is just another name used by Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware and other security vendors for trace malware.
