Copy Paste dosen't work in server 2019

Question

Hello,

I'm having issues with the copy paste function in server 2019.
The paste option is grayed out when attempting to copy files from local pc to the Terminal.
It is possible copying text.
I've tried all the solutions found on google;
Group policy changes (disabled the option to block copy)
Changed the RDP settings to allow copy (and drives).
Ctrl C + Ctrl V.
Restarting rdclip.exe process.
Restarting the server.
And a few more options.

Would greatly appreciate any further help.

Thanks for asking question!

You have provisioned CIS hardened image from Azure marketplace?

You can copy text from local PC to terminal system, only file can't copy if it is hardened image.

Previously i have same issue i done changes in GPO then it is working.

Do not allow Clipboard redirection
This policy setting specifies whether to prevent the sharing of Clipboard contents (Clipboard redirection) between a remote computer and a client computer during a Remote Desktop Services session.

You can use this setting to prevent users from redirecting Clipboard data to and from the remote computer and the local computer. By default, Remote Desktop Services allows Clipboard redirection.

If you enable this policy setting, users cannot redirect Clipboard data.

If you disable this policy setting, Remote Desktop Services always allows Clipboard redirection.

If you do not configure this policy setting, Clipboard redirection is not specified at the Group Policy level.

Hi,
1.Is the machine domain joint?
Kindly check the gpresult and ensure that both clipboard and drive redirection policy are enabled.

2.What kind of client you've used to start the remote connection? If possible, please also try the windows built-in command: mstsc to start the remote session and check the option of Drive and clipboard redirection.

3.Please check the properties of folder in the target location and ensure that the remote user has capability to write.

4.What is the size of the file you would like to move? Is this a common issue for all files or only for large files?
Copying files larger than 2 GB over a Remote Desktop Services or Terminal Services session by using Clipboard redirection (copy and paste) fails silently
