What happened?

I'm probably just dumb and I'm sorry for posting it here but after nearly 40 minutes of fighting with this program I've got enough and I would be very thankful if someone could help me.

After installing the program it didn't work at all, after disabling the SSL thingy it started working but when i move my cursor to the upper side of my screen the mouse sometimes kinda bounces off of it a few times before switching to the 2nd device. And on the 2nd device the mouse is just locked in place on the taskbar (its not visible tho), the only thing i can do is right click, or use the set up earlier shortcut to bring it back to device no1. (the keyboard works. I use a wired mouse.)
Is there a solution?

For me Windows 10 (server) to Ubuntu (client)
Turn off Wayland and use Xorg DM (uncomment #/etc/gdm3/custom.conf)
Restart Ubuntu
Windows Change Desktop scaling to 100% for main computer monitor
Hope this helps you

I have Windows on both devices. And the scaling is set to default, which i think is 100, other than default would look bad anyway

I don't have two windows machines ATM to test. I'm new to this too. Other item related to mouse issues I found when searching on this earlier today was making sure scroll lock was off on both computers.
Sorry I cant be more help at this time.

Just in case, see:
#1638
I just had a similar problem, fixed with the issue mentioned. It's a workaround, not a real fix. But works for me.

i have meet the same problem.server:windows10,client:windos10.both 2.4.0-release
When I use computer 1 as the server and computer 2 as the client, the barrier can function properly. However, when I use computer 2 as the server and computer 1 as the client, the logs show everything is normal, but the mouse is not displaying on the client side, while the keyboard works fine.
Solution:i just try to Switch the version.(computer1:version2.4.0,computer2:version2.3.4) solved this problem.
