Resolved an issue that delayed mouse event processing

USB driver conflicts with NoMachine software
The USB driver installed with the PCoIP Software Client for Windows has a driver conflict with the USB driver used by the NoMachine remoting software.
Remove the NoMachine software before installing the PCoIP client.
Client Installation of USB components (USB hub filter driver) may fail
If the USB hub filter driver is in use when the PCoIP client is uninstalled, the subsequent install of the client will fail to install a new USB hub filter driver. The error message will state a different version of the driver is installed, however the driver is actually only partially uninstalled.
These manual steps can be used to completely remove the USB hub filter driver. # Uninstall PCoIP client # Reboot machine # Open registry key editor # Search for "fusbhub" under HKLM # Try to remove registry key containing "fusbhub". If the registry key cannot be removed, note down inf file name associated with the registry entry. The inf file name usually starts with oem, e.g. oem9.inf. Start commandline prompt, run "pnputil -f -d oem9.inf" # Keep repeating step 5 until "fusbhub" gets completely removed from registry key # Reboot machine # Install PCoIP client.
Using an invalid or corrupt branding package crashes client
If the branding package does not match the hash value specified for the branding package, the session client will terminate.
Replace the corrupt branding file or use the correct hash value.
Bridged USB devices disconnected when switching to Windowed Mode
When the client has more than one monitor, switching from Full-screen to Windowed mode will disconnect all bridged USB devices.
Cancelling large USB file transfer fails
Cancelling a large file from being copied to, or from, a USB flash drive while bridged in PCoIP Software Client fails to function. The file will continue to copy until finished.
Allow operations on USB devices to complete prior to disconnecting the session.
USB keyboards do not work in bridged mode
Keyboards do not work when bridged. This affects both Windows and macOS PCoIP Software Client.
Do not bridge the keyboard. Keyboards function correctly when locally terminated.
Audio input in PCoIP Software Client with PCoIP Remote Workstation Card does not work
When in session with a PCoIP Remote Workstation Card, PCoIP Software Client supports audio out from the host, but not audio into the host.
