Copy/Paste to Server 2022 isn't working.

I have the problem that when I connect to a Windows Server 2022 via RDP, I cannot use Copy/Paste.

What I noticed is that the rdpclip.exe process is normally responsible for this, but in my case, even when manually executed, it terminates after one second.

Things I have already tried:

  • Enabled clipboard and drive redirection in the RDP file.
  • Tested rdpclip.exe on another server without any issues.
  • Set GPO settings for the clipboard.
  • Created an exception in the antivirus program.
  • Disabled the antivirus program.
  • Ran SFC and DISM.
  • Performed a repair installation while keeping data and apps.
  • Installed all available updates.

Despite all these attempts, rdpclip.exe still does not stay open.

One thing I noticed is that in Safe Mode, I can run rdpclip.exe without it terminating.

I would be very grateful for any further suggestions.
