The clipboard sharing is handled using a small application running on the remote machine, called “RDPCLIP.EXE”. If this application fails to do the job, your clipboard sharing will stop working and you will not be able to copy paste text, data or files from local computer to remote server using remote desktop connection.
How to solve this issue.
- Login to remote computer using Remote Desktop (RDP)
- Load up task manager (right click taskbar and select Start Task Manager)
- Go to the Processes Tab
- Select rdpclip.exe
- Click End Process
- Go to the Application Tab
- Click New Task
- Type rdpclip
- Click OK
There, copy and paste should now work normally again.
