Windows 10: Windows 11 Screen Timeout

No matter what I've tried I can't get my screens to turnoff after the set amount of time. I tried resetting power settings to default. Have tried it in the different places to get to power settings. I even tried reinstalling windows 11 clean. It's the same thing where my screen won't turn off. Even if I manually lock the screen, the screen wont time out. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks,Jason
