FYI:

Review the following links to determine if your system is trying to sign in at startup without the applicable login credentials. And failing.....

https://www.solveyourtech.com/how-to-skip-microsoft-sign-in-on-windows-11-a-step-by-step-guide/

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3539-sign-user-account-automatically-windows-10-startup.html

You can easily find other similar links.

Objective simply being to find and to potentially prevent further failed startup login attemps or later attempts via some app or trigger via Task Scheduler.

First look for what you can find/learn and post accordingly.

Second then look for an applicable fix.

Do not be tempted into any immediate downloads or Registry edits claiming to fix the problem.

if you log into microsoft account you can look at where the log in attempts are coming from.
check microsoft account-> security then select "view my sign in activity"
in my case I see hackers all over the world attempting to get into my account.
in the last day here are the login attempts:
brazil, usa, uk, canada, sinapore, south africa, and a bunch of other locations.

most are attacking a email alias rather than my main email.
I create a main email which I never give to anyone, then make a email alias that I use for websites.
the attacks are generally on the email alias which I can delete at any time and just make another one without having to delete my main master email account.

when you look at the sign in activity it will show you location the sign in attempt came from. IP address, computer and other info.
