Disable Local Account "User must change password at next logon"

I am trying to create an local account that automatically signs in when Windows loads. However, when signing in for the first time, the account is prompted to set a password. However, this account does not have a password set because of the -NoPassword flag. This computer is not joined to any domains.

I tried setting the -PasswordNeverExpires flag, but upon checking in lusrmgr.msc, the "User must set password on logon" box is still checked.

New-LocalUser "testmode" -NoPassword -FullName "test user" -Description "test sign-in account" -AccountNeverExpires

Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Users" -Member "testmode"

Automatically sign the account in without prompting to set a password

Try this please: Here you are first creating the user, then piping to set the properties of said user.

New-LocalUser -Name "testmode" -NoPassword -AccountNeverExpires -UserMayNotChangePassword -FullName "test user" -Description "test sign-in account" | Set-LocalUser -PasswordNeverExpires $true

It should yield this:
