Some later keystrokes are interpreted as part of the previous keyboard shortcut in the Terminal Services session of a Remote Desktop window on a Windows Vista-based computer

Consider the following scenario.

  • You type a keyboard shortcut on a Windows Vista-based computer.
  • You are working in a Terminal Services session that was started by using Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 (RDC 6.0).

In this scenario, some keys in the keyboard shortcut may remain active. Therefore, in the Terminal Services session of the Remote Desktop window, some later keystrokes are interpreted as part of the previous keyboard shortcut. For example, this problem occurs if the following conditions are true:

  • You lock the local computer by pressing “Windows logo key” + L.
  • You unlock the local computer.
  • The Remote Desktop window is in the full-screen mode.
  • The Remote Desktop window is active.

When you press any key, various Windows keyboard shortcuts occur in the Terminal Services session. For example, when you press E in the Terminal Services session, Windows Explorer starts.

There is a download that resolves this issue. See Hotfixes for details. This issue is resolved in SP1.
