What is dynamic lock?

                                     Dynamic lock


1. Dynamic lock :

             Dynamic Lock is a new feature in Windows 10 which automatically locks your machine if you are away from the device.

 It works by using a Bluetooth connection to your phone (can be iPhone, Android, etc).                   

 If it detects you have left the machine it will lock it automatically. This is based on:

  • Your PC still stays unlocked for 30 seconds

  • if the Bluetooth device is present (that was present during login)

  • If the Bluetooth device is not present or the signal is weak which signifies the device is far away (with the user) the screen will be locked.

Step 1: Pair your phone

Before you enable Dynamic Lock, you must first pair your phone with your PC. You can skip down to step 2 if that's already done. On your PC, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
  • Turn on Bluetooth with the toggle switch there. (Turn on your phone's Bluetooth as well).
  • Next, tap the "+" button for Add Bluetooth or another device.
  • In the pop-up Add a device window, tap Bluetooth, then choose your device from the list that appears.
  • Prompts should appear on both your PC and phone. Accept them to pair.                        After connecting your mobile Bluetooth with pc.
  • Go to the start icon and double click on the setting icon.

  •   Search (DYNAMIC LOCK)


  • Step 2: Activate Dynamic Lock
With your PC and phone paired:
  • Go to Settings > Accounts and then tap Sign-in options in the left panel.
  • Scroll way down to the Dynamic Lock section and check the box for Allow Windows to detect when you're away and automatically lock the device.


                                                                                                                          




















Take your phone with you, step away from your computer, and it will automatically lock about a minute after you step out of range.

when you come back to your pc, you'll have to sign in to your pc manually by entering a password.
 A dynamic lock doesn't automatically unlock your pc when the Bluetooth device comes back within range.
