Windows 10: User sign-in without internet access

I have a Dell Inspiron 14 5000 laptop with Windows 11. I updated my computer and now the sign in screen to unlock it just has a button that says "Sign in". When I click that button, it loads for a while then tells me "You'll need internet for this." While at college the internet requires going through a browser to access, so there is no way to connect to any internet. My laptop also does not have an ethernet port, so a wired connection is not possible. If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

:)
