Windows: Input Lost on Elevated Programs

[andreaxhearts]

Windows 10 is the client with Ubuntu Linux as the server, set up correctly on both ends. Whenever a program running as admin opens on Windows (UAC prompt, admin command prompt, etc.), input is lost on the Windows machine. I have to use the release keys and make sure the elevated program isn't in focus to be able to use lan-mouse again.

You can run it as administrator to prevent this but I did not want to enforce that (yet)

I did just test that, yep that works. User Account Control popup still gets in the way regardless, but most of the time that gets turned off anyway. That's only case though, everything else works with admin.

Yeah you're right, the uac prompt probably needs even higher privileges

This also occurs when focusing a window which has been marked as Not Responding and like UAC, running as admin can't avoid it. Not sure there's anything that can be done about it, but worth noting.
