Microsoft Store
Running as admin
Yes
Area(s) with issue?
Mouse Without Borders, General
Steps to reproduce
Issue Summary: Mouse Without Borders sets the same Security Key on all machines after restoring from backup
Relevant Installed Components:
Microsoft OneDrive
PowerToys
Steps to replicate the issue:
- Installed mouse without borders on 2 computers
- generated a key on computer No.1 (Tachicoma) and backed it up using the backup process in the general section to the default backup folder on onedrive
- on computer No2 (Pepper) use the restore process in the general section from the same backup folder on one drive
- now whenever a new key is generated and a connection is attempted, both machine's default security key is set to be the same.
I'm attaching the screenshots from both machines to illustrate the issue. Please note that to take the screenshot on Tachicoma, I had to turn off Mouse Without Borders as there seems to be some sort of glitch that didn't allow me to use the snipping tool, but that's another matter. If I had it turned on, the same info would be displaying.
Attempted fixes that failed:
created separate backup folders
re-installed power toys on both machines
restarted everything multiple times
✔️ Expected Behavior
Per the documentation section for initial configuration -> Link to Documentation
I expect that the keys on both machines would be unique
