Windows 10: Lock screen timeout Windows 11 - doesn't give a "minutes" option

I want to set my laptop to automatically lock the screen after eg. 5 minutes of inactivity. I don't carry my phone everywhere so don't want to fluff round with bluetooth.In Windows 11 there doesn't seem to be an option for "x minutes", only Never or When PC Wakes up from Sleep.I'm looking in Settings, Accounts, Sign-In Options and this is the first heading under Additional Settings:If you've been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again? Never / When PC wakes up from sleepHave taken screenshots but they won't upload here.Is there some hidden setting where I can enable th

Windows 11 locks my screen after 1 minute

On my new Windows 11 laptop, the screen locks after 1 minute, no matter what settings I change. Things I've tried:

• Power plan setting: Turn off display after 4 minutes (both battery and plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: Sleep / Sleep after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: System unattended sleep timeout after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: Display / Turn off display after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• Advanced power plan setting: Display / Console lock display off timeout after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in)
  
• System > Power & Battery setting: Screen and Sleep / Turn off my screen after 4 minutes (battery/plugged in) (also recommended here)
  
• Set the screensaver to "none"
  

At this point I'm stumped. Anything else that might be causing this?

How to set different values for screen timeout and screen lock?

I want to assign different values to screen timeout and to screen lock.

i.e. I want the screen to timeout after 10 minutes but activate the screen lock after 1 hour.

Right now I do not see an option to do so. You can only make it lock at the same time it timeouts, or not at all.

Maybe an app can do it?
