Stolen laptop

I recently (3 days ago) was in Tanzania and my laptop was stolen. It is registered with Microsoft but I cannot use the "Lock" feature in Windows 10 to remotely lock the computer. -- It says "try again later" -- I have and still does not work. -- Help?

 

stolen windows 10 laptop.

My Acer Aspire laptop running Windows 10 64 bit was stolen Saturday morning.

Device has not been turned on, or connected since it was stolen. I went to Microsoft support site and it showed the last location that my laptop was used at. I clicked on Lock button. Microsoft said they can't locate my device, but will send me an email
when my laptop has been detected. Will Microsoft automatically Lock my laptop when it has been activated, and connected to internet, or will i have to go back to the support site and click on lock button again? What exactly happens when Microsoft locks a stolen
device, does it make it difficult for thieves to access my laptop. Does Microsoft have the capability to remote wipe the hard-drive of my laptop, using port to port process? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially advice on any options for
wiping the hard-drive of my laptop using port to port, or software. I have no tracking software

installed on laptop.

Many thanks for your suggestions,

Lock my Windows 10 Laptop that was stolen

hi there. My laptop was stolen on the 07/10/2021 and ever since that day I tried to lock my laptop under find my device. In the beginning it said 'we having a problem locking your device, Microsoft will send you a message to your outlook email address' Now when i am trying to lock it it says ' Revise your lock message. This version contains words some people might find offensive' even if i put no short message in the field.

I assume the laptop was never put on again that's why it cannot be locked. Is there no way Microsoft can track it?
