Windows 10: Sign in option is disabled because of failed attempts

I have authenticated access via app so no incorrect password can be input. Passwordless access. Two days of waiting for two hours. No reboot to CMD or recovery mode. No access to bios or efi.shell. Only eat sleep repeat 2 hrs wait. When help required need to spend days filtering through other peoples failed attempts to reassure ourselves that yes that yes we are sheep getting tortured by the AI academy. Let me know when you guys fix something. I’m off to buy a new computer.

This sign in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts

 

"This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns".

We are regularly getting the following error message on one of our devices:

"This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns. Use a difference sign-in option or keep your device powered on for at least 2 hours and then try again."

We do not have any other sign in option available to us on the device, and so are having to wait for 2 hours each time the message appears which results in the computer being unusable for a significant amount of time.

We are not repeatedly entering the password, as suggested by the error message, this message is appearing when we initially start up the computer. The computer is shutdown correctly at the end of the day, and not multiple times as suggested by the error message.

This error message seems to be appearing on our device several times throughout the week.
