Windows 10: Cannot Enable Clipboard History in Windows 10 Pro

Here is what is going on. Today I went to check out clipboard history using windows key + V and nothing happened. It didn't give me the popup saying it wasn't on, nor did it show me the history I had.

I went to Start > Settings > System and Clipboard was missing from the choices available.

I checked in gpedit.msc under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > OS Policies. There was no Allow clipboard history option.

I tried to use the reg file from Enable or Disable Clipboard History in Windows 10 and even checked the reg key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System) to make sure that there was no AllowClipboardHistory with a 0 setting.

Any help would be great did I perhaps miss something and they went ahead and removed the feature since they had initiated it?


TIA

:)

 

clipboard

Hello,

In Windows 10 build 17666 or later, clipboard is available.

Try these steps

1. Right click Start Button or press Windows + X keys and select Settings.

2. In the Settings app, navigate to System > Clipboard.

3. Under Clipboard, toggle the Save multiple items option to On. This should enable clipboard history on the go.

4. Close Settings app.

You can now press Windows + V keys to view clipboard history.

Hope this helps!

 

Win 10 Clipboard History Stopped Working


Hi, any change if
a. you do a clean boot
b. you create a new user for test purposes and log in as that user?

Do you have any restore points you could use?

FWIW my clipboard history looks ok...

Clipboard History

I use Clipboard History on my other Windows 10 PC but the MS Surface Pro (2017) doesn't appear to be available.

I have tried adding in reg but no luck. It isn't available in setup either.

Is this a 'feature' or a restriction to the Surface Pro?
