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:

  • Load up Task Manager in your RDP session (right click on the Taskbar, then select Task Manager), then

  • On the Processes Tab, find the “rdpclip.exe” process

  • Right click on it and select End Process

  • Open up a command prompt, and type rdpclip.exe

  • Resume using copy and paste :)
