Clipboard is not working for Azure Virtual Desktop
I have many virtual machines hosted in Azure where clipboard works perfectly, but I have two "terminal servers" setup using Azure Virtual Desktop (Azure Virtual Desktop | Microsoft Azure) and the clipboard only works in the remote session itself.
I have 2 VMs in an Azure host pool and both of them don't work. I've tried copy/paste with files, text between notepad/notepad++, URLs, etc.
Here are my settings under local resources.
I've also confirmed that Clipboard Redirection is enabled/configured on the Azure Virtual Desktop machines.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us on that matter!
Do you experience the same issue if you launch this RDP connection outside of RDM with MSTSC.exe?

Good question. No, it works properly when I use MSTSC.
NOW when I reopen my embedded RDM session, it works properly. Why could that be?
Hello,
Thank you for your swift reply!
Is it convenient for you to use the embedded display then? Most users opt for this display since it allows them to keep their connection centralized in RDM.
The different behavior is because both displays rely on different components. The external one relies on MSTSC.exe to establish the connection while the embedded display relies on Microsoft's ActiveX.

I've since restarted my computer and it's not working again. I retried using MSTSC but it also doesn't work there. I'm at a loss now...it's intermittent.
Hello,
Unfortunately, I fear that this issue might lie outside of RDM since the issue come and goes without making any changes to the application.
