EDIT: I added mention of hibernate in the title. When I hibernate the laptop and I start it, it does not show the sign-in screen in order to ask for my password before it enters Windows. Based on this finding maybe the problem is more general on my laptop.
I notice that the sign in requirement after waking from sleep is not the same as I remember it on Windows 10. My power settings are to put the laptop to sleep after three hours. With Windows 10 when the laptop was woken from sleep I had to sign-in using my password, PIN or fingerprint. With Windows 11 the laptop doesn't appear to go to sleep. As soon as I touch any key on the keyboard I find myself in Windows. I saw the tutorial here but unfortunately it didn't enlighten me. I attach a screenshot of my Sign-in options. Please note the greyed out Additional settings option.
What I would like to do is to require me to enter either my password, a PIN or use my fingerprint when the laptop wakes up from sleep.
