What do you mean by single use code.
If you mean the PIN, that cannot be used - you have to use the MS account password of remote pc.
PIN's can only be used on the PC you sit at - that is why they are more secure as a hacker cannot use it remotely.
A PIN is not a one time use code. Please clarify.

Single use code is from either alternate email or SMS verification. I signed in with this instead of entering the password during the OOBE setup after clean install of Windows 11.

That is part of 2 Factor Authentication - it cannot be used on a remote session.
