@MindQuad | Dhruv Soni Thanks for posting in Q&A.
As you mentioned, the Remote Lock feature in Microsoft Intune does not support Windows devices. This feature is available for Android, iOS, and macOS devices

If you are interested in this feature, it is suggested to post in intune feedback portal. It is a place to collect the customers' questions and requirements. Here is the link:

To secure the device, here are a few alternative approaches you might consider:
- BitLocker: If the device is running Windows 10 or later, you can use BitLocker to encrypt the device. This ensures that even if the device is lost or stolen, the data remains secure.
- Remote Wipe: While you can't lock the device, you can remotely wipe it to remove all data. This can be done through the Intune admin center by selecting the device and choosing the Wipe action.
- Conditional Access Policies: Implement conditional access policies to restrict access to organizational resources based on compliance status, location, and other factors. This can help mitigate risks if a device is compromised.
- Security Policies: Set security policies such as requiring a strong PIN or password and enabling screen lock after a period of inactivity.
From your description, I know that compliance policy shows Password complexity error. How did you configure this policy? And did you meet the password complexity?
