It's seems to be a windows 10 issue, nothing to do with barrier.

Hm, what in particular was the Windows 10 issue? Just so we have this as a reference, should others have a similar issue.

I think an update from Microsoft broke something since my windows has the latest updates. I will investigate more when I can.

the workaround I found is to run : C:\Windows\system32\ctfmon.exe, and add an entry in logon local group policy, so that it runs on logon.
