In Windows insider builds, I get that Microsoft is rolling out features to some people and not to others. But it drives me crazy that they are doing this in the released version of Windows now.
With the October updates one of the new features was supposed to be the human presence detection that can make use of a time-of-flight sensor if your laptop has one. This can automatically lock and unlock your computer. My laptop has this sensor, but the presence detection options in setup are missing.
So, here is the quandary: Are these options missing because that feature has not yet rolled out to me or is there a problem, such as my Lenovo laptop drivers for the presence detection interfering with the built-in features in Windows? In other words, I don't know if I should even start trying to troubleshoot the issue because it may be as simple as me not having the feature yet.
Worse yet is the fact that this feature is one that I don't even know whether it is slow rolling out to only some or not.
Every time Microsoft starts getting it together, they manage to find yet another way to drive me nuts.
Sorry for the rant, but I feel better now
.
On the off chance that anyone knows, does anyone know if this is one of the features that is not rolling out to everyone yet?
