Windows 10: No Login prompt for 20+ minutes

Hello I'm reposting this because the other thread is not getting replies anymore. This is the original thread:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-power/no-login-prompt-for-around-15-minutes-or-more-when/551c896a-07c1-44f4-9129-e6ba95d38a87?auth=1&rtAction=1628344587439Basically not being able to see the login prompt one where you input your password for a very long time. It's getting longer every time I restart or wake up the computer so I don't really do that anymore.

No login prompt at login screen

Post #8 “I can login to the computer after restart, but every locking after it causes the problem.”

Check Way 3: Lock computer in Screen Saver Settings.
Step 1: Type lock computer in the search box on taskbar and choose Lock the computer when I leave it alone for a period of time.
Step 2: In the Screen Saver Settings dialog, choose On resume, display logon screen and hit OK.
Is “On resume, display log on screen” checked?
