Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac - Copy and paste doesn't work

[WilcoHordijk]

I reinstalled 10.5.2 and copy and paste from remote to local works.

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.

Good 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.

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.

Hello Pathandfield,

I downloaded an older version from the internet; search for Microsoft Remote Desktop older version or something ;)

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.
