I did read the whole thread before I posted my thorough analysis with logs in March and I can't find any solution to not working clipboard in VRDP in this thread.socratis wrote:It's in this thread. Did you read the whole thread where the OP came to the conclusion that his setup was faulty and it was causing the problem?

In case, you are referring to the post viewtopic.php?f=6&t=80793&start=15#p383574 where Suncatcher reported something like that it is not possible to have more then one RDP connections and working clipboard, then you can dismiss that theory really fast.
I am using such setup on daily basis and same as geekster reported here posting.php?mode=quote&f=6&p=394153#pr383824, having multiple open RDP connections and copying text using clipboard between them and between client works without any issue.
Suncatcher called that mystery, but I can assure you, it works
As I wrote in my post, everything worked with Virtualbox 4.x and Windows 7 just fine. With upgrade to Virtualbox 5.x and Windows 10 VRDP clipboard stopped working.
And the prove, that it is something wrong with virtualbox guest additions is, that when RDP client connects to a guest, guest clipboard is broken even after the RDP client disconnects and the only reliable cure seems to be guest OS reboot.
I am not saying, that the sole root cause is Virtualbox. Maybe it just reacts wrongly on something new in MS RDP client, that was not in older MS RDP clients (new MS RDP protocol?), which is the most probable cause, if you ask me to guess, but there is definitely issue in it and needs some debugging.
You can say that priority of such fix is small, as there is not many users complaining, but please do not try to pretend, there is no issue in Virtualbox at all and blame everything on client. That is obviously not truth.
