Microsoft’s phone app can now remotely lock your Windows PC

Microsoft's Link to Windows app on Android has been updated to include the ability to remotely lock your Windows PC, even if you're not nearby. This feature works by using your phone's Bluetooth connectivity as a "fence," where if you go beyond that fence, Windows can automatically lock your PC as a protective measure. If you don't have this feature turned on, the updated app allows you to manually lock your PC, which can be useful if you're unexpectedly delayed. Additionally, the app's interface has been reorganized to make its functions more organized. While the interaction between Android phones and Windows has traditionally been one-sided, with the Phone Link app providing an interface to share files, photos, and more, the Link to Windows app is now being beefed up, making it a more useful tool for Windows users.
