  1. Shift Key Fails using RDP Remote Desktop between Windows 10 and Server 2008 R2


    This was a recent issue discovered when new computers were installed. Shift key did not respond while using remote desktop from a Windows 10 computer to our Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise edition server.


    The fix;

    -Open the Remote Desktop application

    -Click down arrow at bottom left of application window "Show Options"

    - Select "Local Resources" Tab

    - Under "Keyboard" you'll see "Apply Windows key combinations"

    - Select dropdown menu and change to "On this computer" and then you are done with this tab

    - Select the General Tab

    - Under "Connection settings" you have the options to select on of these buttons "Save, Save As..., Open..."

    - Select the "Save" button

    - You are finished, now test!


    Note: if you select either of the other two options the shift key did not respond in my environment.

    - "Only when using the full screen"

    - "On the remote computer"


    I hope this helps someone out :

    :)

    Free Windows Server 2008 (and 2008 R2) for students

    Microsoft recently added Windows Server 2008 R2 to Dreamspark, so now Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 are available for free to any student enrolled in a class at any of the universities on their list. Windows Server 2008 R2 can be converted so that it is like Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 can be converted so that it is like Vista. I'm still running XP Pro, but only until I find a free antivirus program for server operating systems *Roll Eyes Shift Key Fails using RDP Remote Desktop between Windows 10 and Server 2008 R2 :rolleyes:
