Windows 10: Window Security Lockout

I just turned on my computer and got a large popup that states my computer is locked as my ip address was used. It gives me a phone number but i hesitate to call until i know for sure that it really is microsoft. Help!…….

Is there an equivalent to the 'Account lockout threshold' security policy setting for Windows 10 Home users?

My understanding is that Windows 10 Home users don't have access to the Account lockout threshold security policy setting (and by extension the Account lockout duration policy setting) because Local Security Policy isn't available in Windows 10 Home. Is
there an equivalent setting available that will allow me to set a threshold for login attempts and lockout duration on my laptop?

 

Account Lockout Policy is not working


Hello guys,

I have Windows 10 Enterprise build 10240 on my Dell Tablet (32 bit) and Oracle VM (32 bit). On both system, I tried to setup Account Lockout Policy in Local Security Policy. I have Account Lockout Threshold = 5, Lockout Duration and Reset Lockout Account Counter = 30 min. However, after locking my account or signing off, my account is not locked after 5 and more failed logon attempts. This feature worked correct on my Windows 8.1 system with the same account lockout settings.
Does anyone experienced the same behavior? Any explanation or fix?

Thank you very much,
