Windows 11the latest operating system developed by Microsoft, has several interesting functions. One of them is causing a sensation among users, since it allows the computer to automatically lock itself, in case it feels that the owner has left it alone. Would you like to know how? Here we teach you.
A fairly frequent mistake made by Windows users, especially those who work in the office, is to leave their PCs or laptops unlocked, in case they are going to be away for several minutes. This is a risk because any stranger can sit in front of it and use it without our permission.
There are several ways to lock a computer, the most popular is to press the keys ‘Windows’ y ‘L‘, you can also click start and then choose ‘Suspend‘. If you did it correctly, no person will be able to log in with your username, since they will need to enter your password.
Although it is a fairly simple method, sometimes you may forget to do it. For these cases, it is recommended to use a tool that is available in Windows 11, which locks the computer when it feels that you are moving away from it. Just follow the steps below:
- Look for the ‘Dynamic Lock’ tool.
- A window will appear that has an option called ‘Allow Windows to automatically lock your device when you’re away’
- This option will be disabled by default, you have to activate it
- Finally, it will ask you to pair your phone via bluetooth
That would be all. Now, every time your cell phone moves away from your computer, it will be automatically locked, since it will interpret that you are away and that you forgot to suspend it manually.
