Copy/paste over Remote Desktop

I often work on Matlab remotely using Windows' Remote Desktop. When doing so, I find that I can cut/copy items from Matlab's Current Folder window on the remote machine and paste it into Windows File Explorer on my local machine. However, I find that the reverse does not work. I cannot copy/paste clipboard content on my local machine into a remote Matlab. This behavior seems to be Matlab version independent.
Does anyone know why this is, and if there is a way to make the clipboard visibility bi-directional?

"Rdpclip.exe" is the process responsible for operating the clipboard between your computer and the Remote Desktop machine. If the copy-pasting is not working between local-computer and remote host, then it can be due to malfunctioning of this process. Here are the steps you can try:
  • Open Task Manager on the remote machine.
  • Click the "Process" tab and locate the process “rdpclip.exe”.
  • Right click and select "End process" to kill this process.
  • Then start it again manually by Task Manager -> File -> Start new task -> rdpclip -> Enter.
  • If the above steps don’t solve the issue, then you can try other remote desktop software like TeamViewer, or AnyDesk.

Thanks @Divyanshu, but that did not change anything.
It seems unlikely to be a Windows issue, in any case. The only clipboard problem I am seeing is pasting into the Matlab Current Folder pane on the remote machine. I can still paste into the File Explorer just fine. I can also paste text from the local Matlab editor to the remote Matlab editor. So, I think whatever the problem is, it has to be specific to the Current Folder pane in the Matlab Desktop.
