Does Windows 10 move the lock function from the profile?
Why did Windows 10 had to move the lock function from the profile to the power button?! It was fine the way it was?
Honestly, it’s mostly about consistency and security. The power menu (including Sleep, Shut Down, Restart) has been a stable part of the system for ages, so integrating Lock there makes it feel more unified. Plus, it helps prevent accidental locking — you might hit the power button or use the power menu intentionally, and locking becomes a more deliberate step.
