Fix RDP clipboard if copy/paste is failing

Sometimes copy/paste to/from an RDP session fails even if all server and client settings have been configured correctly. Often the fix is as easy as this:


  • Open Task Manager
  • End the rdpclip.exe process
  • Run a new process
  • Type rdpclip and press Enter

Remotely Enable RDP

This method assumes remote registry is enabled on the remote PC that you wish to access. If that is also disabled, a physical trip to the PC may be in order.



  1. Open Regedit and "Connect Network Registry..."
  2. Connect to the remote computer by name or IP address
  3. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Terminal Server
  4. Locate the fDenyTSConnections entry
  5. Change the value from 1 to 0
  6. You should now be able to connect via RDP
