Can't Paste at all in primary without freezing browser

Have tried everything in the #cantcopy guide

from Stardock Forums

I've been using Multiplicity (Seamless) for a while now with no issues. Very recently--as in a few days ago--I noticed that I can no longer paste from my Secondary into the Primary. I can paste from primary to secondary, however. 

- Can't paste into MSWord or Notepad

- If I'm trying to do it in a browser, it locks up my browser

What happens when I try, is that either nothing is pasted, or it locks up my browser. It happens on both Edge and Chrome.  If, when everything is frozen, I unload Multiplicity, everything returns to normal. If I don't, my browser locks up permanently and I have to restore everything.

I've tried everything in the https://forums.stardock.com/486104/multiplicity-support-faq#cantcopy thread.

This almost makes this product unusable and I really like/need the product. Hope someone can help!

Have you upgraded your primary to say Windows 11 or changed firewall software?

If so make sure the network is set to private/work not public and if new firewall then rules on the primary need to be set to allow Multiplicity to connect to it to get the clipboard data.

I am running Windows 11 on the primary, but it's on ethernet. The secondary (Windows 10) is on my wifi network but I have confirmed its set to "Private." Both have the following firewall rules settings. Checked column is "Private."

And...that seemed to fix it. Whew! Thanks all.
