Windows 10: How do i require authentication when my PC wakes up from sleep on Windows 11?

Under the Windows 11 sign-in option, there is an setting that asks, "If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?" The setting is defaulted to "never" and is grayed out so I can not change it. I would like to be able to lock my PC and require the password without having to completely restart/power down my PC. It literally makes no sense that I can't change this setting. Why is the setting even there if it can't be changed? If someone can help me figure out how to fix this I'd appreciate it.

"authentication is required when this pc wakes up from sleep" to change this setting is greyed out in Windows 10

I didn't change this setting but all of a sudden I am required to sign in when my PC wakes up from sleep. When I go to Sign In Options it says that "Authentication is required when this PC wakes up from sleep. To change this, go to Settings and search
for Power & Sleep. However, the area to change is greyed out and Power and Sleep offers no changes for sign in. I am using Windows 10 and all of the suggestions to fix this problem do not seem to apply to Windows 10.

 

authentication is required when PC wakes from sleep

My computer is telling me that authentication is required when PC wakes from sleep, I am not aware that I have done anything, however issues started when Cortana was updated to my PC, I have no start menu, settings, difficulty in accessing mail etc, is
this the result of the PC being a sleep, help would be much appreciated.

 

Authentication is required when this PC wakes from sleep. Security policies on this PC are preventing you from changing this setting?
