Windows 7 remote desktop connection does not respond to mouse or keyboard
- by Daniel Jette
Pretty much every time I connect to my work PC from home (both running Windows 7), I can see the screen refresh and signs of life (clock changes, notifications pop up), but I cannot interact with the remote machine at all. Mouse and keyboard input are both ignored.
If I repeatedly reconnect, I will eventually get a connection that works. I think either a setting on my host machine, VPN client or work network is configured wrong.
My home PC is running Windows 7 Professional.
My work PC is running Windows 7 Enterprise.
My VPN client is Cisco AnyConnect.
Is this a problem anyone else has run in to? Any suggestions for settings to tweak?
