Windows 10: I can't type a password at all on the login screen for Windows 11 and cannot click anything...

I have already attempted checking if it is a keyboard option but this only happens on startup. Once I force the computer to shut down and turn on again by using the button, the password bar lets me type my password in. I cannot click any of the options on the sign in page, including accessibility and the power options. Only the forced shutdown has been working.
