Windows 10: Cant copy and past to/from remote desktop

Hi All, this problem is getting worse and happens daily.


I have Windows 10 Pro.

I have 2 monitors and use Remote Desktop Version 10.1.1088.0 on my system.


I use this all day.

I go back and forth between the RDP and my windows desktop apps. (excel, word, Outlook, etc).


So, scenario. I select the word TEST1 in Word, click copy then select Outlook and Paste, and it all works as it is supposed to.


Then I need to copy from the RDP app. I select the text WILLTHISWORK, click copy, go to Outlook (Outside of the RDP window) and select Paste and I get what TEST1, what I had originally copied. BUT if I go back to the RDP and paste there, it will paste the WILLITWORK.


Sometimes, if I log out of the RDP app, and close Remote Desktop, then open and log back in, it will work, other times I have to reboot my system.


This problem is driving me crazy, any suggestions?

:)

How to copy and paste file with the "Remote Desktop" app?

There are two RDP clients for Windows 10:

• the old Remote Desktop Connection client (built-in)
  
• the newer Remote Desktop client (windows store).
  

While I have no trouble to copy and paste files around with the old client, I cannot manage to do the same thing with the newer client. How do I copy and paste files between machines with the Remote Desktop app?
