Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro disable lock screen does not work

I just installed windows 11 Pro on a brand new dell pc couple days ago. but when i tried to disable to lock screen on the pc or change the power settings to never go to sleep it locks the screen after 20 mints. I have also disable the lock screen from the local policies and still locks the screen after 20 minutes of inactivity. I have looked around different forums about this issues and none of what it has posted as a solution has worked. I did notice someone posted that the was a bug on this matter from Windows 11 OS version and i like to know from a MVP expert if this is the case.Thank you,F
