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.
