Windows 10: I'm trying to disable password requirements and can't figure it out.

Hey guys. I'm really hoping someone can help me here because I'm about to explode from the frustration. I have windows 10 pro, 64 bit, currently version 21H2, though the problem was also on 22H2. I have a custom PC with a ryzen 5 2600 cpu, 16GB of Ram, an Rx580 gpu, and a my OS is installed on a 256GB SSD. I think this is all the information that's needed. Please let me know if there is anything else. I've included a bunch of screengrabs here: https://imgur.com/a/jagXpxEFour days ago, after installing update 22h2. My computer gave me a prompt to change the password on my local account bef
