Shift Key not working in Remote Desktop Connection - Windows

Shift Key not working in Remote Desktop Connection Full Screen Mode

Remote desktop connection upper case letters work until the rdp session is changed to full screen mode. In full screen mode the shift key stopped working which would not allow upper case letters, such as for passwords or general punctuation, to be typed in from the keyboard.

There are multiple posts  and forums that indicate turning off sticky keys will solve the problem of shift not working in RDP session. Since sticky keys was not enabled on the systems I was having this problem with I simply tried ENABLING it instead. I was able to have the shift key working again by turning on sticky keys . Since i really didn't need sticky keys, I then changed the options or behavior of sticky keys and disabled all features of it BUT left it "on". 

Can't type upper case in RDP (Remote Desktop Connection) session. 

See below, that with Sticky keys enabled, all features are unchecked. Play sound was left not because it was needed but instead because I just didn't care about sounds. 

 Or this version of the UI which contains the same settings with a different look.

Registry Keys to Turn on or Turn off Windows Location services

There are two registry keys that cna turn lcoation sercie on and off. one of the keys is for the user and the other key is for the computer system (laptop or desktop) It doesn;t matter if the desktop or laptrop is physical or avirtual machine. The registry keys to turn lcoation services on or turm lcoation services off are the same. 

The location services UI will allow you to turn lcoation services on and turn location serivces off bt not for both the computer and User. You can also turn lcoation serices off or turn lcoation serivces off per applciation using the Location Service user interface of windows 10. 

The windows registry location for user setting to turn off or turn on Location services is: 

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\location

       

The windows registry location for computer settings to turn off or turn on Location services is: 

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\location

       

Set both or either to Deny or Allow. 

Set to Deny to turn off and set to Allow to turn on Location services. 

To create a reg merge file , open notepad and copy the following into the new note and save as Turn-off-location-services.reg (or a name of your choosing) . make sure you use the .reg extension. 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\location]

User Profile Cannot Be Loaded

User Profile Cannot Be Loaded, Windows Login , Roaming Profile, Redirected Folders. 

Have you seen this  when logging in or working on an issue your users are having. 

If there is redirected folders and roaming profile for appdatta, the causes could be many. The solution i found just recently was the user's profile was actually maybe corrupted. if not corrupted, there was a problem that was causing this within the profile. 

This environment was using citrix but this problem is not limited to Citrix. This could occur with terminal server (remote desktop service host) or even just a plain desktop connected to the domain. 

In this case there was a group policy that redirect users folders to a server share as well as the appdata roaming folders.  The enthronement consisted of pooled desktops which mean users would get random non persistent desktop. Again as stated, this problem could occur on a physical desktop, there is not need to have virtual desktop for this issue to occur but it does appear more often when working with virtualization. 

Rename the users roaming profile folder . Add _OLD at the end or something similar. DO NOT recreate the user's folder manually. Have the user login and the folders will re-create automatically with the correct permissions applied to hem. If you create it manually as an administrator, you'll have to manually set all the permissions for SYSTEM creator owner , the user, etc.. it's easier to have the login process create them for you. All this can be done from a vmware console, or RMM MSP type management software that allows remote access and control. not limited to either vmware of RMM, other software for desktop remote access can be used and it's your choice which one .
