How to stop Remote Desktop Connection Manager sharing the same mouse input across all sessions?

If we connect multiple machines/sessions on Remote Desktop Connection Manager and run a UI Automation script on one session, we are able to go to a different session and still have that script running. However, just as the mouse is moving because of a script in that session, the same mouse movements are seen in other sessions as well , even though the script is not running in other sessions.. How can I stop this from happening?

    Enable Separate Mouse Modes:

    Open the Remote Desktop Connection app.

    Enter the PC's name you want to connect to.

    Click "Show Options."

    In the "Local Resources" tab, under "Mouse," select "Separate mouse for each remote desktop session."

    Connect to the remote PC.

    Repeat for all RDP sessions: Enable separate mouse modes for each RDP connection you establish.
