I'm afraid that's the "current expected behaviour" - HASS.Agent sends the media keys via SendInput. If RDP is in the foreground is at the top it steals all key/keyboard events.

I'll see if we could use the media player API to do the same but we'd also need to think about players/applications that do not use windows media player api and just listen for keyboard events to support "media keys".
