Hyper-V Cut-n-Paste

Solution 1:

You can paste text into the virtual machine (Clipboard -> Type Clipboard Text). It should work with Ctrl+V but it regularly doesn't for some reason.

What is annoying is that the Hyper-V manager and SCVMM say they use RDP to connect to the VMs so it should work. Although so should the mouse integration before installing the integration services but that doesn't either.

Solution 2:

1. Start your Hyper-V machine.
2. Ensure the "Enhanced Session" is disabled/unchecked via the hyper-v top window menu (View -> Enhanced Session).
3. Initiate and connect to your Cisco VPN client session.
4. Once your Cisco session is connected, check to re-enable the "Enhanced Session" menu choice again.
5. The enhanced cut-n-paste should work at this point.

Note: After step 4, my VM forced me to login to the workstation again. Strangely, my Cisco session was not disconnected. There may be some Cisco configuration that may disconnect in this circumstance and cripple this workaround.

Note: Using Cisco AnyConnect v 4.0, and Win10 as the VM

Solution 3:

If you go to the menu bar and unfold "screen" there is an option to turn on extensive session (or something like that, I don't know, I'm dutch.

If you turn it on, the client will reconnect and the clipboard is now shared.
