Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.96.0
### Installation method
Microsoft Store
### Area(s) with issue?
Mouse Without Borders
### Steps to reproduce
When using Microsoft Garage Mouse Without Borders, I occasionally encounter click failure issues after moving the cursor from my primary computer to the secondary computer (a laptop). For example, while I can click normally within a browser window, I am unable to click on dialog boxes or pop-ups from certain software applications. In such cases, the only workaround is to use the laptop's built-in trackpad to dismiss or delete those pop-ups. I have also tried running the application as an administrator, but that did not resolve the issue.
