Copy & Paste to RDP crashes app

Often, when I copy & paste to a remote desktop, regardless of app/process used, it freezes the host app and the client computer. My only solution is a band-aid... running a script to reset C&P functions and/or reboot both systems.

An example case... using Virtualbox machine, if I enter the machine directly from the VBox console, C&P works fine all the time. If I connect to a VBox machine via other RDP the crashes occur, let it be with Windows built-in RDP, Microsoft RDP, TightVNC, etc.

Why specifically does this happen and is there more of a permanent solution?

Windows 10 Pro x64 2004

I have the same problem, complex copy and paste will crash Windows Store RDP.

Hi,
What's your system OS build? Have you installed new security updates to upgrade to latest Win10 2004 OS build?
Also try to end rdpclip.exe, then go to Run, and write rdpclip.exe to restart this app.
1. Kill the process rdpclip.exe using the task manager in the remote computer
2. Go to RUN command and start the application rdpclip.exe
Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
Best Regards,
Carl

Thanks for the input. As indicated, I'm running the latest, updated version of 2004. I'm curious... do you personally C&P across RDP on a regular basis, like every day, and don't have any of these issues? If so, I would like to know what processes you use, privacy, VPN, etc. I've seen numerous reports of this happening, going back years.

I have gone through the rdpclip.exe kill/restart cycle, multiple times across both host & client. Interestingly enough, I find that C&P still works w/o rdpclip actually running, so not certain of its real use/value in todays OS. Is there another clipboard source in the OS?

This, as my script to check/repair /clean-image, /scanhealth, is a band-aid.
