• Update Registry Editor

If the Dynamic Lock feature still doesn’t work after doing the methods above, most likely the feature is disabled and you can activate it using the Registry Editor. However, before moving on to the next step, make sure you have backed up the registry settings first, so that when a problem occurs you can revert to the previous registry.
