Windows 11 Screensaver / Display Sleep functions not working

A few weeks ago, I can't remember exactly when it occurred (May have been after installing W11) my screensaver and display sleep functions just completely stopped working. I have tried every trick in the book. I have updated my BIOS and chipset drivers. Powercfg -requests shows an audio stream running from realtek, I tried overriding it but didn't solve anything. I confirmed every power option setting is correctly enabled. Basically I've spent extensive time googling and troubleshooting this to no avail.

The one thing that did fix it was running the DISM restore commands in CMD Prompt, however, it only works temporarily for the initial reboot after running that command, and then it stops working again if I reboot a 2nd time.

What can I do to fix this problem?

    Just quit Creative Cloud after finding this thread with the same issue. Hope Adobe is tracking this bug!

    So randomly again my screensaver, sleep, monitor eco mode all started working again the other day after a reboot. I kept it on sleep for a number of days and things remained working on wake, Eventually I had to reboot for an update and they ALL stopped working again. I cannot figure this out, there has to be some service interfering with ALL of these functions that just happened not to be running during that boot?

    This is apparently a windows 11 problem Microsoft has no intention of fixing!
