Suggestion

I want to append some contents to wiki.
The comment below would be helpful for someone gets 'ipc connection error' on Windows.
Sorry for my bad English🤦‍♂️
It would be great someone polish some sentences.

barrierd.exe must run in background so as to barrier work properly.
To ahceive this. barrierd.exe has to be registered in Windows Service.

Run command prompt in admin and input as below

sc create (Desired service name) binpath= (barrierd.exe's path)

Use net start command to execute registered service

net start (Service name)

You can use net stop to stop a service you want

That sounds like a good addition. I'm reopening this issue so we can add this to the wiki 😄

Some comments/questions:

I installed via the chocolatey repo and my barrier is already running as a service. Is this standard now for barrier installs or is this something that the chocolatey package maintainers are adding?
I wasn't able to use barrier to type my password at the login screen nor click UAC prompts. This was annoying. I fixed this (mostly) via Services -> Barrier -> Log On -> Log on as: "Local System account" + "Allow service to interact with desktop."

After 2, I'm now able to click UAC prompts and enter my password at the Windows Login screen on Windows clients. The mouse does exit the screen (and jump back to the server) when a UAC prompt appears and it takes a second or two before I'm able to move the mouse back onto the Windows machine's screen, but it does work and I'm no longer reaching for the other keyboard.

It worked after i did this. You should add this part to the wiki.
