i have an arch and an windows machine. im using on both the currently latest build from commit 0ef8edb7b2.
when the arch machine is the host, i cant interact with the taskmanager on windows. if its an already open window i cant click it to focus it. if i somehow manage to focus it (alt tab, newly opend) i cant control the mouse or keyboard from my arch anymore.
when the windows is the host and i focus the taskmanager i cant move my mouse out of the screen.

it's a privilege issue. Taskmanager has higher privileges and therefore lan-mouse can not interact with it when running as a normal user.
