Windows Lock Behavior

We recently moved aware from a SSO provider that completely replaced the Windows GINA and handled unlocking the desktop. After this change we found users are prompted for a password upon desktop connection. According to https://www.carlstalhood.com/vmware-horizon-true-sso-uag-saml/ , https://docs.vmware.com/en/Unified-Access-Gateway/2106/uag-deploy-config/GUID-E4C8B88F-C771-4829-ABB... , and VMware Technical Support this is expected behavior. With that said I'm curious what others have done to alleviate this issue. I've unsuccessfully tried to disable Win+L and found the only successful method was to modify the DisableLockWorkstation key but found users were sent to a CTRL+ALT+DEL screen on reconnect, which isn't a great option either as it requires the user to click Cancel to return to their desktop. Any advice anyone has would be much appreciated.
