If you are using an alternative RDP client, like the Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) or mRemoteNG, note that the remote clipboard option may be called differently. Using the Task Manager, you can kill the rdpclip.exe ( RDP Clipboard Monitor) process and run it manually (Task Manager -> File -> Start new task -> rdpclip -> Enter). A separate rdpclip.exe process is started for each remote user session when they connect to the Remote Desktop. Rdpclip.exe is responsible for clipboard operation between your local computer and the Remote Desktop host. Fortunately, there is a way to restore correct clipboard operation in a RDP session without logging off. However, it is not always convenient, because you have to re-open all apps in your RDP session again.

This will fix the Remote Desktop clipboard issue for sure.

If the clipboard in RDP session has stopped working unexpectedly, and Paste option in the context menu has become inactive, it is easier to end the current RDP session correctly (logoff) and re-connect. RDP Clipboard (Rdpclip.exe) Stops Working in Remote Desktop Session
