I can't open Windows Clipboard History with Windows + V in Windows 10. I'm using Microsoft Remote Desktop on my macbook air to connect to remote machine via RDP and not able to open it. It's just paste last copied record and not showing the whole history. That's window I'm trying to open:
clipboard history
I had the same problem using Clipboard History in Windows over RDP from a MacBook Air. I solved it by taking the following steps in Windows:
Open the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
Navigate to the location below in the left pane of Local Group Policy Editor to:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\OS Policies​
In the right pane of OS Policies in Local Group Policy Editor, double click/tap on the Allow Clipboard History policy to edit (Enable) it.
Reboot computer.
Enable Clipboard History from the normal Windows settings.

I've recently swtiched from a Windows work PC to a Mac Book Pro. Most of my development work is done over an RDP connection to a Windows 2012 server.
When doing development work, I use IDE's and other tools that have custom keyboard shortcuts involving the Windows key. For instance, [win]+[backtick] is set to open a console. As long as I was connected to the RDP session in full-screen mode, the Windows key combinations were passed through to the RDP session and interperted correctly.
Howver, on my Mac Book Pro, I cannot trigger any of my custom Windows key shortcuts. What is weird, is that all of the built in Windows key shortcuts still work. For example. [win]+[e] opens Windows Explorer, and [win]+[d] still minimzes all windows to show the desktop. Also, pressing the Windows button by itself bring up the start menu, as normal. But none of the user assigned key combinations involving the Windows key work is any application (I've tried three apps). Custom key bindings involving the ctrl, alt, and shift keys work as expected.
Config
I'm running:
Mac Book Pro 2017
MacOS Mojave 10.14
Microsoft Remote Desktop Version 10.1
I have the "Use Mac shortcuts for cut, copy, and paste" option unchcked from within Remote Desktop Client preferences.
Based on a different question and answer, it looks like there are some configuration files in Applications --> Microsoft Remote Desktop --> Package Contents --> Contents --> Resources --> Keyboard. However, I'm not sure what I would add to map [Win]+[something].

Probably you can adjust this configuration file for your goals
I came across an issue that I'm not entirely sure it is even possible.
I want to start a process (chrome browser for ex.) on a user desktop using a system level command prompt or powershell.
I tried many imitations such as runAs and -Credentials but they only open the process in the background "as" the user, not on the user's desktop. I want to actually RDP to the user's profile and see the browser open.
I'm aware there are risks of using system. This question is mostly on how to start a process on a specific user desktop rather than just appearing on task manager.
Edit to clarify the issue:
I'm using windows server which has several of users, all of them are users that i have their name and password.
On that server, i have a process running under SYSTEM which i need it to open a process with a UI (a browser for ex.) in one of the other users's desktop.
The user's session is open and runnign and i can RDP/VNC/SSH/whatever to it and open whatever i want but that is not what i need. I want to RDP to that user after the browser was opened and see that it is already opened.
I have been using the Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.18 to work on Azure vms. Every time the rdp on the mac changes to minimized there is no way to get your current window back again. I click on the Windows RDP icon down on the task bar and only get prompted with the initialize connection screen. The causes the server to run out of rdp sessions and am forced to reset the vm. I am not a pro mac user so it is probably something simple I am missing.
Have you tried forcing an install of the new mac rdp client?

I have a question about windows remote desktop, that's it.
When I use remote desktop, I cannot use any shotkeys with Win key in the remote window, for example : win+D win+E. When I press win key, it should open the start menu, but nothing happened.
My client is windows 8.1, the remote machine is windows server 2008 r2.
Have you met this problem? What should I do? Thanks.
Is your remote desktop in full screen mode?
When you launch mstsc.exe, click on 'Show Options', and go to 'Launch Resources' tab. This should have an option under 'Keyboard' section -> 'Apply Windows key combinations:'. It should be 'Only when using the full screen'. if you want to use Win+ combination of keys only on your remote computer, then you can select the option 'Only the remote computer'.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

This works for me:
Close all RDP Clients on remote machine
Close all RDP Clients on local machine
Try again
I have a requirement of simulating Ctrl+Alt+Del in remote system.I loaded sas.dll and called sendsas function but it is not working.How to display winlogon screen on remote system.
Thanks
As discussed here, you can try using Ctrl+Alt+End instead. This will bring up the Task Manager.
If this doesn't work for what you need, you can open the on-screen keyboard in the remote desktop, and click the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys with the mouse.
