  1. Windows 11 won't Lock when screen goes to sleep


    Before I upgraded my laptop from Windows 10 to 11, whenever the screen went to sleep NOT the whole laptop, just the screen, it would pop-up the Lockscreen if someone tried to interact with it. This seems like an important security feature. Now, with Windows 11, I can still set a Screen Timeout in Settings, but it no longer has any effect on LOCKING the computer. That just puts the screen to sleep, but any keypress or touchpad interaction restores the computer still wide open for any user. If I manually lock the computer with Windows+L or let the whole computer go to sleep not just the scree

    Windows 11 won't Lock when screen goes to sleep

    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.
