When using Microsoft Remote Desktop on Mac, Command+V doe not work to paste into the RDP session. On Mac, I use Command+C to copy the password, but when I switch over to the RDP session and click Command+V, nothing happens.

My questions is, how do I cut/copy and paste from Mac to Windows using Mac keyboard?

Answer 1

I use command+C to copy the password, but when I switch over to the RDC session and click command+V, nothing happens.

1. Use command+C to copy on the mac
2. Switch over to the RDP session
3. Use control+V to paste in the RDP session using your mac keyboard

Try testing it out using TextExit on the Mac to paste to Notepad on Windows. As where you'r trying to paste the Password may have restrictions/issues.

If you are still having issues.

Select the RDP from the main menu (close current session)

1. Click 'Edit'

2. Click 'Session'

3. Check that 'Limit copy and paste to remote session' is Unticked.

4. Reconnect session and test again.
