Downloaded Windows Server 2022 desktop version. I actually have done this 2 times on 2 different computers over the past couple days. After it was finished and asked me to set up a password it went to the screen that says press ctrl, alt del to log in. Well pressing that does nothing and this has now bricked 2 of my computers. Please help. Thank you.

If this is occurring in a VM you should be able to send the ctrl-alt-del keys through the client window. If this is on a physical machine, try plugging in another keyboard to a free USB port to see if that changes anything. If your BIOS has some legacy USB options, try enabling that. You can also try switching to safe mode to see if you can initially sign in there then reboot back to normal mode.
