    Windows 11 PC won't hibernate but goes to lock screen instead


    So last year, when I got my PC back from the repairs due to broken keyboard, my motherboard got replaced by them too and ever since then, I tried to hibernate it again, but it goes to the lock screen instead, even tried reinstalling Windows recently the problem is still there, I even tried to reset power settings and disable fast startup, CMD fix commands, still nothing! Prior to this my PC was able to hibernate without problem and my model is an Asus Vivobook F571LH.

    PC hibernates / goes into sleep mode upon logout / screen lock

    I am using my work computer. It's a laptop with a power connection (not running on battery.) The laptop is hocked up to two monitors (a total of three monitors, counting the laptop's own screen - I usually keep my laptop closed, however.)
    Since I am at work I always lock the screen when I leave my computer. (I use the windows+L shortcut to lock the screen.) This all works fine.

    However, after about a minute the computer goes into sleep mode / hibernation. At least I think it does, because the two monitors goes black - and it takes a few seconds to "wake up the system" (the monitors doesn't come back to life immediately when I press a key on the keyboard / move the mouse, as they would if a screen saver was active.)
    This is very annoying if I step away from my computer for only a short while (like going to the bathroom.)

    Here's what I want:
    With power (not running on battery):
    When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 15 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

    Without power (running on battery):
    When I lock the screen, I want the screen to stay on for 1 minute, then go to screen saver for 5 minutes, then go to hibernation/sleep mode.

    My best bet is that this is some sort of power saving scheme thingie, but I can't seem to figure out how to configure it to do what I want. Can someone please help me with a step-by-step guide to configure my system the way I want? Thank you.

    On Windows 10, I enabled hibernate, but it goes to the login screen instead of hibernating.

    On Windows 10, I enabled hibernate, but it goes to the login screen instead of hibernating. From the login screen I can then hibernate, and it works from there.

    I tried disabling hybrid sleep, which did not change anything.

    The only recent change to my system has been that I upgraded to Windows 10, which disabled hibernation, so then I had to re-enable hibernation, which did not work from the get-go.

    Windows 11 PC won't hibernate but goes to lock screen instead

    Windows 10 goes to lock screen instead of sleep mode.

    My computer has this problem for a while but i haven't found any solution online.

    My PC doesn't go to sleep mode by being idle anymore, instead of going to sleep mode it just locks the user and goes to the lock screen.

    The only way to go to sleep mode is to put my PC manually.

    Did anyone experienced that issue?

    Any suggested solutions?

    Thanks!
