    Lock a stolen laptop by serial number? “Find My” lock is insufficient.

    My laptop was stolen. I see the serial in my Microsoft account and last location. Why can’t I lock the device/report the serial number as stolen to prevent it from ever being activated again? I see the serial in my devices which means Microsoft can too. It also won’t let me lock it in case it ever connects to the internet again like a iPhone. Not allowing a user to report a laptop serial number stolen is helping the thieves and the stolen laptop market!! ��

    Lock a Stolen Device

    My laptop was stolen and I am unable to lock the device remotely. If I try the "Find my Device" it shows the battery is 0% and I get the following message : We can’t locate this device since it hasn’t been used in the past 30 days.. Then when I try the "Lock" function I get the following message: "We can’t lock your device right now". Please can you assist with problem.

    Thank you
