Windows 10: Windows 11 Screen saver and Sleep settings

Hey there,First time posting here since I couldn't really find a clear answer on what I am experiencing.I recently upgraded my desktop to Windows 11 and am trying to replicate my old screensaver and sleep setting from Windows 10, but it doesn't seem Windows 11 is allowing that configuration.Specifically, my settings in Windows 10 were:When plugged in, turn my screen off NEVERWhen plugged in, put my device to sleep after 20 minutes.The motivation behind this setting is that it would drive me nuts if my monitors went dark while I was reading, or was monitoring something on a screen without activ

• Click on OK.

To put the computer in sleep:

We need to gather more information for us to better understand your Screen Saver concern. Kindly answer the following:

• How did you disable wake up password?
• Are you seeing the log-in screen when waking up the computer from sleep?

Power, Screen saver, and Sleep settings have no affect

More clues...........

After a power outage yesterday I powered up the computer but never logged in. I was surprised to see that it was asleep this morning. After logging in I checked the screen off timer, 1 minute and, the sleep timer, 2 minutes. AFTER logging out the screen went off after 1 minute and sleep mode was entered about 2 minutes after that.
So I logged back in and waited for 10 minutes. No screen off or sleep mode. While logged in I reset the screen off timer to 15 minutes, sleep timer to 30 minutes and screen saver to 2 minutes. After 30 minutes nothing had happened. At that point I LOGGED OUT again and AFTER 15 minutes the screen went off (w/o screen saver) and AFTER 30+/- minutes the computer went into sleep mode.
So it seems that the screen off and sleep settings in control panel work as long as no user is logged in and that the screen saver is not working either way.
Does this make sense to anyone?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions that come my way.
