Describe the bug
I see Windows 10 (1909) bottom of the screen flickering (something like 1/2 or 1/3 of bottom) at keyboard or mouse events knowing that this device is acting as a server for a MacOS Big Sur acting as a client. It's mostly visible with dark backgrounds, not with bright ones. I'm using MS Teams all day long in dark mode, so the screen flicks exactly where I keep looking at when typing new messages... pretty disturbing, I first thought it's my display which is broken, but I tested other devices, other cables, it's working perfectly.

To Reproduce
Don't know if it can be reproduced easily.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS Server : Windows 10 1909 (18363.1500) running on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480s, connected with USB-C to the screen (and keyboards and mouses)
OS Client : MacOS Big Sur 11.3 running on a Mac Mini 2018 i7
Barrier version : 2.3.3 on both devices
