After a bit more investigation, that might be the same 'fix' I pointed
to earlier, but from a different direction.

So I dug deeper and found this:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsclient/forum/all/after-update-to-latest-win-11-24h2-rdp-kerberos/d0f95e77-eb25-4604-bfd7-526d14a585a1?page=3

Which appears to be a lot closer to what the problem the OP is getting.
If it is, then it appears to be a Windows bug that they are not
accepting.
