Windows – Fix Synergy so it works on Login/Locked screen

I don't have a Windows PC available at the minute to test this but Synergy on Linux at least, comes with "synergys" and "synergyc" being server and client respectively.

I'm assuming that the loader for Windows is a dynamic config creator which then loads one of the two files above (in .exe form) to do what you have asked (either checked server or client radio buttons) rather than there being a single .exe for both client and server.

If this is the case, you should have separate client and server files in your synergy install directory which you should be able to run independently and simultaneously using the command line.

Using --config to load separate config files, you should be able to achieve what you are asking. See http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/configuration.html for the options.

Try starting the Synergy service in windows control panel. The ipc connection error usually means the service is stopped.

Steps:

1. Open your Windows Task Manager.
2. Click on the Services tab.
3. Right click on the Synergy service.
4. Click Start Service.
