Shared clipboard between Hyper-V VM and Win 10 host
Does Hyper-V support shared clipboard with host. I can't see any way to do it and it's a feature I really miss from Oracle VB.

Only 1 thing comes to mind, the change in the Win10 clipboard could be an issue. With the saving of some couple dozen clips maybe the storage of them is part of it.
Enhanced Mode supports fully integrated, bidirectional (host to guest, guest to host) clipboard. It is enabled by default:
Clicking More shows more options. For instance, you can select all host drives to be shown on guest File Explorer:
… or select which host drives will be shown on guest:
Selected drives can be directly accessed from guest:
Enhanced Mode requires guest OS to be Windows Server 2012 R2 or later, or Windows 8.1 or later on Generation 2 virtual machines, Windows 10 Pro, Education or Enterprise guest OS on Generation 1 virtual machines.

Which precludes the use of RDT. I'll have to play with it and see how I like it. Enhanced mode doesn't support something that RDT gave me (my problem from a week or two ago) but I can't remember what that is right now, but it sounds like a trade off of options.
I think VirtualBox handled this better, providing full bi-directional support for clipboard and drag and drop. Hyper-V has better network support.
Got it. Needed to use Remote Desktop, not via Network, right click, sorry.
Edit: Works beautifully, many thanks Bree and Kari. Even audio which did not work in Enhanced mode works now.
