With Windows 10<\/a>, your laptop\u2019s built-in camera can be used to unlock the device thanks to Windows Hello<\/strong>. Soon, said camera may also be used to automatically lock up your PC as Windows Insider Build 15002<\/a> comes with a feature called Dynamic Lock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Internally referred to by the Microsoft team as Windows Goodbye, activating the Dynamic Lock feature will cause Windows 10 to automatically lock the device up once it detects that the user is away from the machine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Lock is expected to be available to all Windows 10 users as part of the Windows 10 Creators Update<\/a> that will be available in April<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
