Admin PowerShell cannot move mouse to second PC

from Stardock Forums

Ok this one you can probably replicate. If I have a PowerShell window open as Administrator the mouse won't move to the other screen. Minimized it, mouse works. Non-admin PowerShell open mouse moves over fine. Not a big issue, just odd.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

I dont show that you have Multiplicity on your account - are you using the trial?

I could not reproduce what you are reporting.  This is my Secondary with a admin PS window open:

I got it through Steam.  Reverse from secondary to primary I have no issues. It's going right from primary to secondary where the mouse won't move.

Again, I cant reproduce what you are seeing.

If you disable the Steam overlay, does that work:

Do you have anything in MP restricting a transition?

Lastly, and most critical for MP, it MUST be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Multiplicity.

Also need to know if the user account is an admin or a separate user for admin rights.

Steam overlay is off. MP settings match yours. Steam puts everything in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Multiplicity, User is regular user and PS launched via run as administrator.

That it is in Progam files is what is vital so that is fine.

Does 'regular user' mean not an admin and when you call for admin rights, it is with different credentials that do have admin rights?

Does the user on the PC that did work have admin rights?

Fixed it. Uninstalled from D: where all my Steam games are. Added a steam library location on c: and reinstalled. PS problem went away as did issue with VmWare Workstation.
