## How to Use Dynamic Lock on Windows 11 PC - Guide

Dynamic blocking works by determining the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) value of a Bluetooth paired device (smartphone).  When the paired device moves away from the device (out of range), Windows detects the system and locks it.  To use Dynamic Lock, you need to pair your Android device with your PC.  While you can also use your iPhone, Dynamic Lock on iOS is not as reliable as Android due to pairing issues with Windows.  Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system has several features and one of those related to security feature that many users don't use is Dynamic Lock.

The dynamic lock feature in the Windows operating system adds an extra layer of security to the computer as it locks the device when the user moves away from the desk or computer.  It is based on proximity to a Bluetooth-paired device, eg B. a smartphone or handheld device.  When the feature is activated, Windows 11 will wait about 30 seconds for the Bluetooth device to connect to the system, and if the device is not found within this period, the user's account on the system will be locked automatically.

The logic behind this is that if the user's paired Bluetooth device is not within range for the system to detect, then the user is not nearby.  To prevent unauthorized access to the system, the Windows 11 operating system locks the user account, which can be unlocked by the user.
