How can I get around needing a Microsoft account on Windows 11?

I've set up a local account on my new $3000 laptop, installed everything I need, and transferred files from my old PC without any issues. But now, I'm suddenly faced with a screen that requires me to sign in with a Microsoft account. I can't even open the command prompt using Shift+F10, although I managed to open the terminal through another app, but my keyboard isn't working except on that account screen. I'm looking for a way to permanently bypass this requirement since I don't want a Microsoft account. Any ideas? I'm using Windows 11 Pro by the way.
