The Windows Registry is a good place to check if all the keys and values related to Remote desktop have their values set accordingly. Scroll down and see if the check for Remote Desktop is enabled. All you have to do is tap on the Change Settings button to activate the panel below. That will show you all the apps and features currently on your system. Now, select the Windows Defender Firewall option and tap on the ‘Allow an app or feature’ option on the right panel. To do so, type firewall in the Start menu. Next, check if Remote Desktop is enabled in the Windows Defender Firewall. Once done, hit the OK button to save your settings. At the same time, you’d want to tick off the checkbox under ‘Allow remote connections. Click on it to open the System Properties. That will display an Allow remote access to your computer card on your PC. However, for those of you who haven’t yet checked, here’s how you can check. This will now ignore any potential keyboard change coming from your remote location so you do NOT have to switch the language again.I know, you must have already checked that when you got the error.

Call this value IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayoutĭouble click this new value and set it from 0 to 1.

Right click on Keyboard Layout, select new and add DWORD (32 bit) Value. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout Log into the server you want to ‘fix’ and run regedit. If you are looking for a more permanent solution you have to crack open the systems registry and make a manual edit. This is most definitely a bug since no where is the Canadian language/keyboard actually installed as you can see from the following screen shots. So whenever I log into a computer via RDP (in particular an AWS windows instances), I have to switch to US from Canada. For whatever reason RDP thinks I am running a french canadian keyboard on my MAC even though it is just a standard US layout. The first way requires you to change the keyboard layout in the languages bar. There are 2 ways to fix this problem I found. It turns out that upon making a RDP connection from my MAC to a windows server, the RDP connection was incorrectly identifying my remote keyboard. In fact there were many keys that were not outputting correctly. Upon switching I noticed that some of my keys were not working as they should, in particular the key was coming up with ” and # was ? instead. Previously I was using the 2.1.1 version which worked quite well but felt like changing anyway. Recently I upgraded to the remote desktop app from microsoft that is available in the app store.
