I finally stopped dual booting Windows after I got the “You can’t log into this account due to repeated log in attempts or restarts, wait 2 hours” BS I ran into a few days ago. Sadly there is one game I can’t get working on Linux or a virtual machine, and one laptop feature that will not work until the maintainer of my device’s Linux drivers manages to get it working for my specific model, but being forced out of my own system and told I’m not allowed to access it for 2 hours is intolerable, and the fact its baked into the OS, and can’t be disabled, even more so.
Its called Gaia XI - Its the old MMO, Final Fantasy XI, but its been revived by fans. The complexity and nature of the game make it pretty hard to get it running on something other than Windows.

Holy shit, is this a real thing now? You’re not allowed to restart your machine too much?
Thank the gods I ditched my dualboot setup months ago, I would have ran into this same issue.
