    After installing 20 May 2020 Windows 10 Update the "Clipboard History" function is grayed out. I cannot select it to make it active. Why? Was it disabled before the update?

    :)

    Clipboard History still will not work

    I know some other users have had this problem but nothing I have read has cured it for me yet, including the reg edit suggested on this site --- have activated (ie. merged) this correctly. If my memory is correct I could not get the History before the May / July update so that is not the culprit. When I click Win+V all I get is the empty Clipboard History window. And by 'history' I mean the most recent Clips as well as earlier ones. Current clips are saved buy two third party apps, fortunately, so the Copy function does actually work, it is specifically Windows Clipboard History with the most recent addition to the Board which is kaput.

    I found the History useful and am at a loss to know what to do to get it back.

  3. view clipboard history

    Hi,

    Windows Systems do not save the clipboard history. There is only one item stored in the clipboard. If you copy something new the previous clipboard contents is overwritten and lost forever. To get the full microsoft clipboard history you need to use third-party
    utilities.

    We recommend Clipdiary clipboard manager. It remembers everything you copy: plain text and text with formatting (rtf), html, pictures and files.

    Why do you need clipboard manager? What can you do with the microsoft clipboard history?

    -Quickly copy data back to the clipboard.

    -Paste any clip from the history directly to the selected application.

    -Search for the necessary clip by its contents.

    -Find out what program the data was copied from.

    -Delete clips.

    Please let me know, if that helps.

    Kind Regards:

    Windows 10 Clipboard History Not Functioning

    In my computer Windows 10 Clipboard doesn't work. When I press Windows Key+V Key, nothing happens, the clipboard panel doesn't appear. I tried with a new user account in the same PC, initially it shows up, but once
    I sign in and migrate all my apps and files, somewhere somehow at some point the clipboard history window stop showing up. I reinstalled Windows and tried, again initially it works, but once I set up my accounts and apps, at some point it stops working. I
    double checked my clipboard settings and clipboard history and sync is turned on. What could be the issue?
