Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1051

Describe the bug
Switching between devices by moving over the screen edge works rarely, mostly for a short time after reinstalling barrier.
The target device is connected, and can be switched to via hotkeys.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
On both my laptop and desktop, it randomly happens, though taking the frequency into account, it rather randomly doesn't happen, but it always happens after a while after a reinstall of barrier, even after a complete clean of all configs.

Expected behavior
The keyboard and mouse input gets switched to the target device.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10
Barrier version 2.3.3

Additional context

When debug logs are enabled, this is shown:

It looks like the screen lock feature is enabled. Toggle it with Scroll Lock.
