When my Windows 10 is connected to PPTP VPN connection, I can still use the local IP address of the device that DHCP gave it, to connect to my Windows 10 from Android RD client app. this shouldn't happen as I haven't "unchecked" the box that this answer is referring to.

enter image description here

so why is that? is this because of a configuration on the server side? or the IP table or DNS cache on Windows 10 still knows/remembers how to route local traffic? I really want to know the reason.

The option you have set relates to your own connections to the outside world, meaning connections from your computer to the outside will go by default through the VPN.

This sets the default gateway address (0.0.0.0) routing rule to point to the VPN.

It does not affect incoming connections. Blocking these connections is best done in the Windows Firewall.
