What happened?

I have a server set up, with the other device configured and both devices say that "Barrier is running." but it isn't actually doing anything. Both the server and the client are running Windows 11. If I use a hotkey to "toggleScreen" or "switchToScreen", my mouse remains on the same screen but moves a short distance towards the bottom right. Other than that, the software doesn't appear to do much of anything on my system.

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/releases/tag/v2.4.0

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Windows

What OS versions are you using?

Windows 11 on both client and server.

Relevant log output

I don't know where the relevant logs are stored.

Any other information

Hey @billyp673, log info can be shown by opening Barrier and hitting F2 or by opening Barrier and from the menu bar clicking Barrier and then Show Log. What does this show?
