I want to transfer an entry from Word from a local computer to a remote computer. For some reason AnyDesk does not copy the text, the clipboard does not work. How to resolve this error? Both PCs have Windows 10 installed.
If you use Windows devices for remote access, you can use the standard hotkeys Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V to copy and paste text from the local PC to the remote PC. If text from the clipboard cannot be pasted into AnyDesk, you need to make changes to the program settings.
First, log in to AnyDesk accounts on both devices, then click on the menu button in the upper right corner, go to “Settings” – “Security”.
Check the boxes “Control my device’s keyboard and mouse”, “Access my device’s clipboard”, and “Access my device’s clipboard to transfer files.”
Also during an active session there’s a keyboard icon in the top bar called “Keyboard layout”, choose map 1:1 there.
