Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.100.1
### Installation method
Chocolatey
### Area(s) with issue?
General, Mouse Without Borders
### Steps to reproduce
Hi.
Why is it so complicated to add computers to one's list?
It sadly really is not intuitively usable - every time I try to add another PC, all others vanish.
Under "Enryptionkey" I expand the fields and add the new key from another PC and its name and click on "connect".
What the heck am I doing wrong?
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
To add an additional device.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
Now it's the only device avaiable in my list.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported flow in Mouse Without Borders on PowerToys 0.100.1: add another PC using the encryption key and name, then select Connect. Done means the new PC is added while previously configured PCs remain available; no source files or tests are named in the report.
