Are you using Windows in S mode?  You have to take it out of S Mode.  And here's a post about Windows 10 but it might help for Windows 11.

Found my note.....

You need to switch out of S mode.  See this Windows FAQ.  The second item is how to switch out.

Note that switching out of S mode is permanent. Once you switch out you cannot go back to S mode.
