LidLocker

In spite of the sharp, clean and streamlined look, Windows 10 comes with numerous bugs and small issues that are a nuisance to the users who are upgrading from previous versions. For instance, some laptop users have to deal with a relatively irritating bug, namely that the operating system does not lock after they close the lid of their work station.

LidLocker is a small tool designed to overcome this problem and hence, make sure that your laptop gets locked automatically as soon as you close the lid.

After a swift installation, you can access the program from the System Tray. Since the application does everything automatically, you do not have to configure it, but rather just specify if you prefer the app to load at the same time as Windows.

Even though the utility does not have an interface, this is not a major setback, especially if you take into account its primary function, namely to ensure the automatic lock down works properly on laptops running Windows 10.

It is important to note that the application only has one role, namely to ensure that the lock function works properly when closing the laptop's lid. Simply put, the next time you open the computer, you should expect to view the sign-in window where you can type your password.

Consequentially, if you need to manage your password and user profiles, then you need to access the settings and make the necessary modifications from there. It is recommended that you change or add a password while being logged on a profile with administrative rights to avoid any inconveniences.

In the eventuality that your laptop does not lock automatically when you close the lid so others can access your work station unobstructed, then perhaps you can consider giving LidLocker a try.
