I have a Windows Server 2025 guest configured with SPICE display protocol. I have installed all VirtIO drivers and the guest tools. I also downloaded the latest version of virt-viewer on Mac, Windows and Linux. All client machines I have tested with do not allow me to use the mouse with Windows Server 2025 guests.

When I use the VirtIO-GPU Display adapter, mouse functions work fine with virt-viewer, except with reduced performance.

Has anyone run into this issue or know of a workaround?
