Copy & Paste Stopped working in your RDP Session?

Many times you might be connected to one of your servers and all of a sudden copy and paste stops working.

It’s quite frustrating because you might have a really long PowerShell command, or script that you need to run on the server – and you’ll be there all day if you need to manually type it in.

The simplest thing to do here is to:

  1. Load up Task Manager in your RDP session (right click on the Taskbar, then select Task Manager), then
  2. On the Processes Tab, find the “rdpclip.exe” process
  3. Right click on it and select End Process
  4. Open up a command prompt, and type rdpclip.exe
  5. Resume using copy and paste 🙂
