Windows 11 22H2 - Can't use saved credential [Remote Desktop]

Windows 11
I just set up two Windows 11 22H2 PCs using the same Microsoft account to sign in. When I try to RDP or access network shares of the "other" PC, I am prompted for a username/password. I thought the whole point of using a single sign-on is to avoid typing the same account username/password over and over again for each PC on a private network???

NOTE: I'm having a hard time believing this is a new intended "feature" ..thinking something must be misconfigured or broken. However, I noticed the below article:
Windows 11 22H2 - Can't use saved credential - Microsoft Q&A

Can I just make the registry settings changes below to "fix" this problem? I'm not sure if this even does what I expect. Can someone please confirm? Can someone please tell me if it's a bad idea or not to make these settings changes?

Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard

Add a new DWORD value named EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity and set its value to 0.
Add another new DWORD value named RequirePlatformSecurityFeatures and set that to 0.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

Add a new DWORD value named LsaCfgFlags and set it to 0.

Thanks in advance

No. No need to.

Open Credential Manager from Control Panel
or
Search for Credential

Select Windows Credentials
Look for TERMSVC/MachineName, (Expand with Arrow down)
Edit credentials there/Save
Also check that there is only one entry for that connection.

Yes, that's what I used to be able to do with older versions of Windows. It's different after upgrading to Windows 11 22H2 on both PCs (the link I posted explains why). I was able to do make this work pretty easily by creating a generic credential under Credential Manager, NOT a Windows Credential. Like this:

Code:
cmdkey /generic:TERMSRV/ServerHostname /user:myusername /pass:mypassword

Well, this is how I did it on both my Canary and Dev Win 11 installations without the problem you reported.
I added a VM with a stable W11 as well. All can connect with each other using RD without having to logon, all of them Pro versions, of course.
I also have Credential Guard ON, so don't know what to tell you.
