I have that issue whenever RDP gets off the sleep mode. I usually have to press control or alt or shift couple times and it goes away. Couldn't find KB on Microsoft website. It's so retarded.

Bring the RDP window into focus. 2. Click on the local machine's Windows key several times. 3. Bring focus back to the RDP window. Seems to have fixed it for me, this is quite a strange problem!

I put up with this until i started to glow red. Anyhow, the comments posted on Technet's Windows Server Forum 'Windows Key "stuck"' (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverTS/thread/cbaae74e-8311-4a46-a842-31dcdd6878dc/), Josh Rosenberg mentions the root cause of this, which i think people here will find useful. In a nutshell, the problem arises when you use Win+L to lock your desktop WHILE RDP has the focus (full screen or otherwise). Josh explains how to avoid it and resolve it when it happens. Cheers, Ben Hey,
