    Cannot enable Account Protection Notification


    version: 20H2 19042, 1165

    I'm using Dynamic lock feature of my PC. and it works fine. And when windows cannot find my device. i will have red notification on the bottomright.
    But now i don't have any notification if my device is not connected.

    As the screenshot shows, the notification is off. but i cannot turn it on. If i turn it on, close the windows, and reopen it again, it shows off. Why it happen?

    I had the same issue when I tried using it back in January this year and just gave up. It seems fickle and unreliable, though an excellent idea. I'm subscribing to this useful thread hoping for some community input pointing towards a solution. But I'm not holding my breath about that either. It seems 'broken' to me, and needs fixing. Ya never know, someone here might be able to help. @Brink ?

    Best wishes with this. I respect your keen sense of security!

    You hit the point. For example i think windows should scan the device again automatically rather than manually. Even take the power into consideration, it should do it for pluged in laptop and desktop PC
