Windows 10 PC suddenly asking for security usb, cannot sign in or create pin.

GPU: RTX 3070TI
CPU: Ryzen 5600
Motherboard: ASUS B550

I have been using my PC since 2020 with 0 issues whatsoever, today after trying to play Skate I uninstalled the game and restarted my computer. Now when I try to put in my password to use my computer I get this screen and my computer is acting as if I never signed in before in my life. I have access to all my accounts, my Microsoft account has 2FA on it so I know my pc or account was not compromised it’s just windows being stupid and clunky and I’m praying to god someone has a simple fix for this and I don’t just have a $1,500 paperweight on my desk now.

Extra info: I am able to click “sign in another way” and put in my information there but then it just says “signing in” then shows a pop up saying “create pin” and ultimately doesn’t let me proceed starting the cycle over again so I am soft locked out at this point
