Login screen loads before OS loads on Mac

I have a MacBook Pro 2015 13 inch that was using monetary, I factory reset it as it was quite slow and from its came back on there's been a few issues with the os that Ive noticed, the first being that when I turn on the Mac the apple logo appears for like 1 second then goes straight to the Lock Screen and the Memoji that is displayed is extremely low resolution and not animated like normal and then when I enter my password the OS then loads from the lockscreen which is quite frustraing I've also noticed that my downloads have moved as whenever I use to download a file it went to the downloader on safari but not it downloads to my dock instead, I'm very confused and I'm not sure what is going on. Im on monterey 12.7 before and after reseting my Mac

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7

If Filevault got turned on, you have to get past that to load your user account.
