How to disable clipboard sharing in Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode?

Writer Olivia Zamora

OS: Windows 10 enterprise

I have to use some softwares for working.

These softwares could sell my privacy.

So, I installed them on Hyper_V, and enabled Enhanced Session Mode for using camera and video-talking (for work).

But I have no idea how to disable clipboard sharing between host and guest.

VMware is too expensive and consume too much resource (CPU Fan is noisy), VirtualBox is not reliable(too many bugs).

Need help

For Hyper-V, to disable clipboard sharing (copy / paste) between Guest and Host, you must disable Enhanced Session Mode in Hyper-V Manager, Hyper-V Settings.

For VMware (I use this and you mentioned it), to disable copy / paste, you must uninstall VMware Tools.

In both cases other features are affected by disabling Enhanced Session Mode or VMware Tools.

Accordingly, you must be guided by which is more important to you and then disable or keep the total feature set.

Aside: you might wish to determine why your work environment can sell your privacy. Companies usually need to take proper care of privacy.

In the Hyper-V Manager, select the Host machine in the left tree, click on Hyper-V Settings in the Actions pane to the right, and deselect the checkboks in the Enhance Session Mode Policy in the Server section and Enhance Session Mode in the User section.
