Hello,

Is it intentional that the hotkeys for entering the user name and password in RDP/mstsc do not work, or is this a bug?

When I’m in a RDP session and NPS is running on the local client, I can use the hotkey function to insert my username and password into an RDP login window that has been opened in the RDP session.

I hope that makes sense. (NPS is running on Laptop → RDP Session opend in this session, i open a new RDP session to another system an in this login window the Hotkeys works)

Version newest (9.3.1.33994)  
I use the Windows RDP application not the NPS included RDP application.

Thank for any answers.

UPDATE: Before the update 9.3.1 it has worked, the hotkeys

greetings

Giuseppe

this is most likely due to MS January updates. Microsoft made it better than ever. Now it’s now longer working.
