You may have been using Windows 10 for some time now, but it’s likely that you haven’t mastered all of its features just yet.
Do you know how to get your computer to automatically lock while you’re away from it?
It’s a feature included with Windows Hello. While you may already be using Windows Hello to unlock your computer with face recognition, you may not know about Dynamic Lock.
Here’s how it works – you configure Dynamic Lock to recognize a Bluetooth enabled device you keep on your person, such as your phone. After starting up, if that device goes out of range for longer than 30 seconds, your computer will automatically lock itself.
This feature allows you to get up and leave your computer unattended for short periods without having to worry about someone else snooping around your data.
