Dynamic Lock

I’m in the same position & unfortunately I have not read of a fix.

I’ve removed the iPhone from my MS account & the PC & reregistered them but although dynamic lock does work I’m constantly receiving a warning after returning home saying it has lost connection to the iPhone, also I used to see my iPhone under action centre
within the Bluetooth icon & now I don’t.

It seems there’s been major changes within BlueTooth & I suspect this has broken it somewhat.

I await the next update.

There’s supposed fixes available which don’t work or don’t apply to me.

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

turn on bluetooth for dynamic lock

Thank you for your response.

I appreciate the troubleshooting steps that you have already performed. In order to get clarity of the issue and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. What is the make and model of your system?
2. May I know what you exactly mean by “my computer has no Bluetooth”, “but I had it working half an hour ago”. Are you speaking about the Bluetooth or the Dynamic lock?
3. Which troubleshooter gave you the message that your system had no Bluetooth compatibility?

Windows Hello uses a phone that’s paired with your device to automatically lock it shortly after you’re out of Bluetooth range.
Hence this requires Bluetooth to be working on your system. We will look into this for you, please try the troubleshooting steps below and check if it works for you.

Method 1: Install the Bluetooth driver from the manufacturer’s website.

If your system came with inbuilt Bluetooth option, I would suggest you to download and install the Bluetooth driver from the system manufacturer’s website and check if it is helpful to you.

Method 2: Check the registry entry.

Disclaimer: This method contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure
that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, before you modify the registry, take a backup of it by following the steps provided in the article below, then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

   1 for it being Enabled.
   
6. Close the Registry Editor.
   
7. Reboot your system, check if the issue still persists.

1. Press the Windows key and
   R key to open the Run dialogue box.
