Copyright screen in Windows

Pressing enter on copyright RDP logon screen does nothing, enter is not being processed.

I do have "On the remote computer" set for Apply Windows key combinations.

I know there is a config someplace that handles this, can't find it.

Please help.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

To make sure I understand the issue correctly, could you please confirm the following?

  1. The logon screen: Is the "copyright" screen the legal notice that appears before the Windows sign-in, with a message and an OK button? If possible, please send a screenshot of it.

  2. How the session is opened: Do you open the RDP entry in a tab inside Remote Desktop Manager (embedded/tabbed mode), or in an external window? You can check this in the entry's properties under General – Display.

  3. Your workflow: Is this what normally happens?

    • You connect to the RDP entry.

    • The copyright screen appears.

    • You used to press Enter to accept it and continue to the sign-in screen.

    • Now, pressing Enter does nothing.

If so, did Enter work before? And if it did, do you remember when it stopped, for example after updating Remote Desktop Manager?

Your version: Which version of Remote Desktop Manager are you using? You can find it under Help – About.

Once I have this information, I'll be able to point you to the right setting or next step.

Best regards,

Carl Marien

Hello

Carl asked some relevant questions, but I do remember this from a long time ago. The setting you are thinking of is "Grab focus on connect":

Can you also check if it's enabled? If it's not, and it works, that's great. If it's checked and you still have the problem, this may be a focus-related issue in the application generally for 2026.3. The answers to Carl's questions will be relevant.

Thanks and kind regards,

Hello again

I just checked it on 2026.3.9, and that setting does work for me, so please let us know if you have a problem using it.

Kind regards,

Grab focus on connect was it.

Please consider making this a default setting.

Thanks.
