I suggest you first check if you have Sleep ["S3 Sleep"] using this command.
PowerCfg -a

I have always found those rundll etc sleep shortcuts awkward. In my S3 Sleep computers, I use a NirSoft NirCmd shortcut to do the job
--------\NirCmd.exe standby
Only my Windows 10 computers have S3 Sleep so I cannot test that command in Windows 11. I bet it works though.

All the best,
