Hello,
The copy and paste functionality doesn't work anymore. It used to work; i have the feeling it stopped working since the last update of Microsoft Remote Desktop.
EDIT for clarification: Copy and Paste from remote machine to local machine does not work.
I tried:
Setting (Edit PC > Devices & Audio) Clipboard mode to disabled, reconnected a machine and disconnected from the machine.
Setting (Edit PC > Devices & Audio) Clipboard mode to Bidirectional, reconnected a machine.
Setting (Edit PC > Devices & Audio) Clipboard mode to Remove to local only.
Remove Microsoft Remote Desktop and reinstalled it.
Deleted the running proces on target host named rdpclip.exe and restarted rdpclip.exe
Machine:
iMac Retina 5k, 27 inch, 2017
Software:
macOS Monterey version 12.1
Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac, version 10.9.0.

You must shut down and restart the Remote Desktop computer. After the restart it should work again. It worked for me.
Best wishes guys!
same problem, i reinstalled the 10.5.2 and it works now. It was a horror with 10.9.0
Same problem here with Mac OS 11.7.9 and MS RD 10.9.0. (2140)
Same here as well. Downloaded 10.5.2 from here https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8431/microsoft-remote-desktop/old-versions
It fixed the copy/past from local to remote.
Microsoft, please fix.Hello Pathandfield,
I downloaded an older version from the internet; search for Microsoft Remote Desktop older version or something 😉
Hi, same here.
Big Sur 11.7.2.
Copy and paste to and from remote desktops used to work fine before Version 10.9.0 (2140).
How can I revert to an older version ? I have no applications backed-up on my TimeMachine.
Thanks.
HI we have had the same problem with version 10.9.0 on Big Sur version 11.7.4 and 11.7.9, but on other Mac OS version monterey 12.6.1 and newer where we are able to test it works correctly
RegardsGood day gmitche1,
Thank you for your comment.
My machines/connections (and saved accounts) were still available after deleting the new version and installing the older Microsoft Remote Desktop application.
My machines/connections were saved in my library folder i guess.
Thanks for posting this...I have the very same issue on macOS Big Sur version 11.7.8. I use this functionality very regularly and the issue only started happening with the 10.9.0 update that was applied on my system last week.
Installing the older version does work, but means having to re-create all of the machine connections (export does not retain passwords). The older version also installs the "Microsoft Auto Updater" or MAU2 since it is not managed by the app store versioning process.
I reinstalled 10.5.2 and copy and paste from remote to local works.
