Windows – How to “reboot” the Clipboard so I can copy/paste between host and RDP again

remote desktopwindows 10

So basically, from time to time, copy/paste between by host (Windows 10 Pro) and my RDP connected host – stops working.

This is not a case of "remember to enable Clipboard in your RDP settings". It works – most of the time – but sometimes, for reasons I cannot figure out, it stops working.

I've searched around, and the only seemingly valid tips I've found involve resetting the RDPCLIP.EXE. Via Task Manager or Command Line. Like so:

Taskkill.exe /im rdpclip.exe
rdpclip.exe

Source: Copy and Paste is not working on my Remote Desktop Connection… what’s wrong?

Problem is, there is no such thing as rdpclip.exe on Windows 10. So what would be my alternative way of achieving this?

Best Answer

Try launching rdpclip.exe using the command

C:\Windows\System32\rdpclip.exe

I checked on my Windows 10, it is present at given location. Use sfc /SCANNOW if you think it could be missing due to damaged Windows installation.
