Tech Tip - Set Up Dynamic Lock to Automatically Lock Your PC

Dynamic Lock uses the proximity of your Bluetooth-paired phone to automatically lock your Windows PC when you step away. This helps enhance security by ensuring your device is locked when you're not around. Here's how to set it up:

- Pair your Bluetooth-enabled phone with your PC.

- Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.

- Scroll down to the Dynamic lock section and check the box for Allow Windows to automatically lock your device when you're away.

- Windows will use the signal strength of your paired phone to determine when to lock your PC, adding an extra layer of security.
