What happened?

Windows Server mouse does not move from a pc to another. when i try to move the mouse between the two devices, it appears the opposite. to make it much clearer.

Assume server is called D1 & Client is called D2.
When i move the mouse from D1 to D2, the log writes that the mouse is moving from D2 to D1 like this switch from "omar-WDesktop" to "Ipowerful-LW" at 119,655.

Information that might be of relevance:

  1. This never appeared when i used linux, The same Server, if it is using linux to control D2, it works just fine, if D2 is linux (thus, both are linux), it works just fine, if i made D2 server, then the connection works just fine, it only does not work when D1 is the server and D2 is the client.
  2. After I installed it, it said that it couldn't find the SSL certificate and i used those following lines to create them using WSL.
cd /mnt/c/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Barrier/SSL/
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -subj /CN=Barrier -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout Barrier.pem -out Barrier.pem
openssl x509 -fingerprint -sha1 -noout -in Barrier.pem > Fingerprints\Local.txt
