Questions:

Are you using GNOME
If you are using GNOME, are you using it in wayland, or X11 mode?

@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Nov 16, 2019): Questions: 1. Are you using GNOME 2. If you are using GNOME, are you using it in wayland, or X11 mode?

I did try switching server/client. With Fedora 30 (XFCE spin) as server and Windows 10 as client, I could not get any configuration to bring the mouse/keyboard over to Windows.

Switched back to Windows 10 as server, the only combination that seems to work is Linux at the top. Left, right, and bottom do not work. This is still with the Windows 10 setup with extended monitor to the left.

So, update on this. I am trying to recall the exact steps, but I might be a bit off here.
Linux as server, Windows as client was not working, with or without extended monitor.
Changed setup to duplicate screen on Windows, Windows as server. Not working.
Changed setup to only use screen 2 (the external monitor) on Windows, Windows as server, Linux to the left. THIS WORKED!
I changed the setup again, extend the display (external monitor as 2, LCD as 1), Linux on the left, still working*. Interesting.
