Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1804

What happened?

When I start the client it switches instantly to client and displays no mouse cursor. Keyboard works (at least alt+tab). Does not let me change back until I stop the client. (barrier - Copy.log)
So it's impossible to use...
(but works fine between m1 mac and win10. No cigar with server and client both win10.)

Also it does NOT autoconnect a client, I need to go Configure Server, add a client and name the alias, until I do that it's "WARNING: unrecognised client name". And sometimes after it's done it auto-adds another client with the same name...
(barrier - Copy (2).log)
