A colleague has an odd issue.
- When connected to a server via
MSTSC(microsoft terminal services client) the character C is typed into any text editor (SSMS / Notepad / etc) he opens. (Oddly this doesn't occur on all in-focus text boxes though). - When connecting to the same server via
RDCMAN 2.7(remote desktop connection manager) this issue does not occur. - On his local machine, the computer's volume slowly decreases.
It feels like a stuck key issue; presumably with some control character involved which explains the odd behaviour with MSTSC. We've tried mashing the keys in case something's stuck but with no luck. Haven't yet tried writing a script to monitor for & report key presses; though may shortly.
We've disconnected & reconnected to the remote server with no change.
He's currently restarting his machine to see if that resolves...

Does this affect MSTSC on multiple client computers, or only on that particular one? – user1686 – 2017-03-02T13:38:13.657
@grawity: The issue impacted all servers accessed via MSTSC. – JohnLBevan – 2017-03-02T13:40:55.567
NB: The reboot resolved this (sadly; was interesting behaviour; I would have liked a more interesting fix)... – JohnLBevan – 2017-03-02T13:41:30.640
