MSTSC (Microsoft Terminal Services Client, aka Remote Desktop) - mouse input works, but somehow keyboard input is locked. (I see desktop and can use mouse with apps but can't input a single character.) (All I remember - I set down onto the keyboard.. so it must have been a shourt cut) How to unlock?

Firstly, I assume your keyboard is working fine for a non-RDP window.

While the RDP window is active, tap each of the left and right Ctrl, Shift and Alt keys. Also tap the Windows key, the Menu key (the other "new" key added for Windows) and any other modifier keys.

Faced the same issue. I rebooted the remote machine (a poor solution). That worked for me. Did not want to spend a lot of time in the net looking for a solution.

Please go to:

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the keyboard easier to use

uncheck turn on mouse keys under control the mouse with the keyboard.
