Security is always one of the elements that Microsoft wants in Windows 10. It is not always able to guarantee what users need, but it always seeks to guarantee maximum protection for your system, users, and your data.
Thus, it is constantly looking to increase this protection, with new features. One of the most recently found, will detect the presence of users and thus block if they are absent.
Even more security for Windows 10
If the focus is usually on Internet security, physical security is something that cannot be ignored. Any machine can be easily compromised if someone accesses it and steals the data directly.
Microsoft already allows to block Windows 10 in the absence of the user's smartphone, but apparently wants to take that functionality further. The code that was found now shows that it will be working on user detection processes.

Microsoft will protect the system automatically
From what can be seen, Windows 10 will soon be able to detect the presence or absence of users. Thus, and as a result, the system can unlock or lock itself automatically to protect itself and users' data.
Curious is the reference in the code to sensors that will work with the operating system. These will be external and integrate with Windows 10 to help you detect whether or not the user is present in the vicinity of your computer.

Lock or unlock alone for protection
In fact, this new feature of Windows 10 is already well known to Android users and comes to iOS with version 15.4. With the detection of Bluetooth devices, by Smart Lock, this system already knows whether or not to protect and block itself.
This will be another important measure to protect Windows 10. Microsoft is preparing and developing it for later showing in the final versions. Finally, this system will be able to manage and protect itself whenever it realizes that it is alone and without the user present.
