This issue is likely caused by a background Microsoft account sign-in prompt or sync process glitching during startup. Since the system uses a local account with auto-login, Windows might be trying to push MS account sign-in.
Fix suggestions (short):
Disable "Sign-in options" > "Automatically save restartable apps" in Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options.
Remove Microsoft account reminders: Go to Settings → System → Notifications → Turn off "Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows".
Disable OneDrive, Xbox, or other MS services from startup using Task Manager → Startup tab.
Create a new local user account to test if the issue persists.
Let me know if you want a step-by-step for one of these.
