When I restart my Windows 11 HP Desktop PC, it turns the screensaver off

I have a Windows 11 desktop computer that I got from HP earlier this year. I also have an HP laptop currently running Windows 10 that I got 5ish years ago that does not have this issue. Most of the time, if I restart or shut down my computer, when it loads again, the screensaver and auto sleep settings have been turned off. Even more frustrating, they show as still being on, so I have to turn the settings off or run the power troubleshooter, which then turns it off for me after which point I can successfully turn on screensaver and auto sleep again. How do I fix this? I don't care if it uses more power, I want my screensaver to turn on after a certain amount of time and then my computer to sleep shortly thereafter.

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

• Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
• Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
• Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
• Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.

 

Need the screensaver to turn on and stay on

I can turn the screensaver on, but it turns off for some reason. Somebody suggested putting the monitor on a timer, but I would like to fix the screensaver.
