Cannot log in with Network account easily

We are working on getting parallels deployed on a few of your Arm Macs and are running into 2 issues. The easier to solve one, I believe, is this: When I boot parallels Windows 11, it will auto-log into an account it created during Windows installation. I have made it so that the account doesn't auto-log in. But now, if I want to log in with my active directory account, I cannot unless I log in with the local account and then sign out. Otherwise, I do not get the option to log in with "other account". I need to be able to boot parallels and have the option to log in with an AD account available right away. Any thoughts?
