Interesting policy change for RDP

'The default policy for Windows 11 builds – specifically, Insider Preview 22528.1000 and newer – will automatically lock accounts for 10 minutes after 10 attempts to sign in fail. Users can tweak this, changing the number of failed sign-in attempts that trigger a lock and how long the account will be locked.'

Wait, RDP has been around since the last century and they're just now adding this? What a signal.
