I was using a Windows Remote Desktop Connection to a Windows Server 2008 R2 terminal session on my Windows 7 PC and held the shift key down for more than eight seconds whilst I was thinking about what to type. This activated Filter Keys on the Windows 7 PC. I closed the Filter Keys panel without activating the feature and went back to the RDP session. I then discovered that the keyboard no longer worked in the RDP session. Disconnecting the session and reconnecting had no effect on the problem.

I have Googled and found no solution.

How do I re-enable the keyboard without having to reboot my logged in RDP session?

What i will suggest is to open the services panel from your workstation to the remote. restart these services:

  • Remote Access Connection Manager
  • Remote Desktop Services
