For me, running the barrier server works on Windows 10 Education (Pro) Build 17134.

EDIT: The client running on Build 18363 also works fine and connects to the server mentioned above.

Maybe this can help in identify the source of the issue from Windows changelogs.

I'm using this set-up for a while - Windows 10 Pro as server (currently on 1909) and Linux Mint as client (currently on 19.3) and I do not experience any compattibility issue.

Receive "The service process could not connect to the service controller."

barrierd is a Windows Service, you can't start it directly. This error message is from the StartServiceCtrlDispatcher win32 API:

ce31584a6b/src/lib/arch/win32/ArchDaemonWindows.cpp (L244)

However, you can start it with -f (or /f) argument, which makes it a normal console program.

See #370
