    Clipboard gets overwritten while performing other actions on the computer


    I started becoming aware of this maybe early-mid way through 2018.


    I would be copy-pasting stuff around, and sometimes content that I was expecting to be there, was not. I'd do it again- and it would work.

    But this kept happening. To start with I convinvced myself I just had fat-fingered the keystroke. But this is not the case.


    I used ClipClip to monitor the clipboard while I did a few things in File Explorer. And yes, the clipboard is definitely being overwritten, and NOT BY ME. This is a problem in Windows I believe; it didn't always do this.


    At very least, if I use Ctrl-Shift-N to create a new folder, it seems to put the parent path text into the clipboard.


    Also, if I right-click on a folder, I can see the same behaviour (but not always, I haven't worked out the exact conditions required for this).



    A video demonstrating the problem can be found at https://youtu.be/eRHVWW4b898



    I'm totally surprised that nobody else seems to be fighting with this. Perhaps they assume it's "just me" too.

    clipboard

    I just downloaded clipboard to my windows 10 desktop computer. I took a screenshot and opened clipboard but can't figure out how to view it. Is there a step by step tutorial on how to use clipboard? There are only two settings with no directions on how
    to use them. I thought if I save something to clipboard it would be there when I opened the app as it was in windows 7 and XP. All I am getting is a black and orange screen with a clipboard in the middle. I don't want to share I just want to open what I've
    copied to it.......

    Clipboard gets overwritten while performing other actions on the computer

    "you need permission to perform this action" for several actions?


    I don't know what you mean "Go to the computer that you do have permission". The computer that I'm using doesn't grant me permission to copy a file. I have done the routine that you suggest using the properties dialog.
