Windows 10: Require password after sleep.

I need my Windows 10 computer to require my windows password after waking from sleep.
All answers on the web point to either the 'Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options' menu or the 'Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options' menu. I have checked both and the ability to require a password after sleeping is absent. I have also searched the lock screen settings and screen timeout settings, but to no avail.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.


Some additional information: This is a new computer with the current version of Windows 10. The 'Sign-in options' page (where I believe the setting should be) shows these options: 'Windows Hello', 'Password', 'PIN', 'Picture Password', and 'Privacy'.
I have also checked 'On resume, display logon screen' in the screen saver settings: this did not work.

Win 10 not intermittently going to sleep

Why does Win 10 NOT go to sleep after no use

Power Setting currently : Go to sleep after 30 minutes of no use, Require password on wakeup

If I click sleep mode, it works. However, computer does not go to sleep if left unused for hours and does not activate lock screen or require password

 

How to Turn off Windows 10 password / pin

Hi and thank you for the tip.

However, I've done just what you suggested and it still requires me to put in a password. I go and look and it says no password required.

Also have the screen sleep issue. I have it set to sleep after an hour and it sleeps after 30 seconds. It won't change.

UGH....

 

ok. Do it the old fashioned way.......
Since my Win 10 is the current version 1709, I have to give you instructions based on memory.
The "step by step" or the wordings could be a little off. But you should be able to understand the instructions.
Go to Control Panel > top right, click the "View by" > select either small or large > click Power Options .
Left side, click Choose what the power buttons do > right side,, click Change settings that are currently unavailable > select Require a password on wake up > click Save changes.

 

Thank you for the replies, but unfortunately these options are missing for me.
Here are my Power options and sign-in options respectively:
