If you are using Remote Desktop to access RPE/PUB Studio, you may find the Studio too slow. The slow response is because of the windows process “rdpclip” (Remote Desktop Clipboard) that allows users to manage a shared clipboard between a local host and remote desktop. To fix the slow response, you can do either of the following:
- Kill/disable rdpclip process using the task manager in the remote computer.
- Uncheck “Clipboard” option in Remote Desktop Connection.
a. Launch Remote Desktop Connection application
b. Click ‘Show Options’ -> Local Resources
c. Uncheck ‘Clipboard’ option from ‘Local device and resources’ section.
d. Click Connect to connect to the remote machine.

What if Citrix is being used to get to DOORS and RPE products? How to speed up uploading a “dsx”/”dta” file or downloading/saving to local laptop hard drive even though I have a 100 Mbit connection?
Some added info to uploading/downloading is that the Citrix Server with DOORS and RPE is on the Amazon Cloud.
Sorry, haven’t used Citrix for a while now.
