Unable to RDP from W11 -> Zorin - 0x904 errors

I've got Remote Desktop -> Remote Login enabled on my Zorin desktop. I've set a login/PW/port. If I try to log in, I get prompted by the Windows RDP client for a login/PW. I enter my login/PW, then I get taken to my Zorin login screen. If I enter the same login/PW that I normally use to log in (which is also the same login/PW I set up in the Remote Login settings), the connection immediately closes and Windows RDP throws an 0x904 error.

I think I had previously tried to configure xrdp to make this work since I'd removed the xrdp service in earlier troubleshooting attempts.

Is there anything else I need to do to successfully RDP into this machine? If it makes any difference it's got an NVidia GPU.

The Question would be now: Is it a Windows Issue or a Zorin Issue ... Do You have an active Firewall?

Found the issue after some further digging - I had to enable Wayland logins in Zorin and reboot. I'm running into a different issue now, for which I'll open a separate thread.
