Hello,

Yes, it prevents copying and pasting text into Windows applications.

Disable Clipboard:

When you choose to disable the clipboard, this means that users will not be able to use the clipboard function to perform copy and paste operations. This includes copying and pasting of text, images, and other types of data.

Do not allow clipboard redirection:

This setting is more commonly found in remote desktop services or virtualized environments. It prevents the sharing of clipboard contents between the local computer and the remote computer (or virtual machine). In other words, when this policy is enabled, when using a remote desktop connection, users cannot copy content from the local computer to the remote session, nor can they copy content from the remote session to the local computer. This helps to protect sensitive information in remote servers or virtual machines from being easily transferred to external environments.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Hania Lian
