Screen doesn't awake with mouse movement and requires key press

I set the screen timeout to 5min, so after that time the screen turns off. Sleep mode is disabled, so the screen turns off but the computer is still running. My problem is that instead of just the screen turning off, windows also goes to the lock screen. Even if I disable the lock screen , I still need to press space bar / Enter / Esc keys for the screen to awake. I want the screen to immediately awake when I move the mouse, without having to press any keys. This is the behavior I have on my other Windows 10 devices. How can I do this for Windows 11?
