Windows 10: Why did my laptop go into a semi new start up of Windows when I booted it up?

I shut down my laptop last night, and this morning when I booted it up, instead of going to the sign-in screen, it said welcome to Windows. The screen then stated how am I going to use Windows, The next screen asked if I wanted to use Microsoft settings or use my own, the next screen asked me if I wanted to try Microsoft 365, and the final screen asked me about a code for a mobile phone.My question is why did my laptop go into a semi-start-up mode when I did nothing but shutdown the laptop last night?

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
