Windows 10: Microsoft account signin hangs up in white screen

Suddenly my desktop with Windows 11 and the 22H2 update will not signin to my Microsoft or Sharepoint accounts. It stops at a white screen. Other computers of mine on the same network signin fine. Using Windows Defender, disabling it does not help. What could be wrong? How do I find a live person even chat to help at Microsoft?

  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

Re-signin

Problem: read or doze for not many seconds and Windows 10 makes me re-signin. How to avoid or lengthen time? Guru Kirin suggested typing power and sleep, then selecting same. How does one do that? I get the words power and sleep, or by clicking, I get
them on white field with blue background. But I cannot get to next step: select time. Time is not a choice I can find. Next step goes undone, and I don't achieve goal.

 

'signin with local account' not working

Tried those. Did not work. Did some more checking. CMD(admin) window net user shows all the user accounts. LUSMGR.msc there are no users listed. Not sure if this is part of my problem. Also, found reference to ntrights. Will see if that might help with specific user (mine) that I cannot change to local signin.
