I'm having a similar issue. Upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, and mouse movement does not work on the client (Ubuntu 22.04) at all. When I switch to the client screen, the cursor moves to the bottom right corner and moving the mouse has no effect. Keyboard still works 100% as expected.

(v2.4.0)

Same issue with Windows 11 Pro to OSX.
I tried with and without SSL same error.
I checked firewall in windows it was all configured correctly,
Strange thing is it works OSX server and Windows Client just fine...

Not seeing any errors in the logs at all.

I WAS experiencing the same,
(mind that I am using barrier 2.3.2)

1 - Ubuntu 20.04 unity (server) + Ubuntu 20.04 unity (client) --> Success!
2 - Ubuntu 20.04 unity (server) + Win11 (client) --> Success!
3 - Win11 (server) + Ubuntu 20.04 unity (client) --> No Joy!...

Here is how I made it work:
1 - Went to windows firewall setting and allowed all the tree barrier executables: "barrier", "barrierc" an "Barrier Listner".
barrier_win_fw_conf

2 - went to "Configure Server" and created a new screen with the client name (guess the auto config is not as omnipotent as it should...).
barrier_win_server_conf

So, i guess the the "Auto config" could be improved! But the program works...

Notice that when select the barrier executables in windows firewall setting, do not select a shortcut or the setting will not work as expected.
