    clipboard history paste of most recent item fails


    Hi,


    Win10 has a newish feature "clipboard history" that you can invoke with WinKey-V. This brings up the clipboard history. So far so good. But, occasionally, the paste of the first topmost, most recently copied item fails to paste. Fails in all applications where I try to paste Notepad, Word, etc. Even CTRL-V fails to paste it.


    Oddly enough, when the 1st item fails to paste and I paste the 2nd item on the history list, then the 2nd item pastes. Now if I Undo the 2nd paste, the 1st item does paste. Crazy.


    Does somebody understand what is going on? Am I the only one?


    Please do not recommend reinstall, /scannow and other BS.


    How on earth can it be that anything that MS does, is broken so frequently?


    br,

    Kaido

    :)

    Paste command not pasting most recent clipboard item

    Hi, I'm working in Windows 10 and have a persistent problem with Copy + Paste. The problem is that the Paste command typically does not paste the most recent item from the clipboard, but rather pastes an item previously copied to the clipboard. So, for example,
    I might go grab something from the web via CTRL + C, and then try to copy it into an email, only to find that the pasted material is something I previously copied, not the material I copied most recently. At that point I have to go back, re-copy the stuff
    from the web, and try the paste command again. This works, but performing this sequence of steps twice most of the time is a pain in the...keyboard.

    I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

    Pasting from clipboard

    Thank you, The first suggestion worked. The second did also provided I did not click in the Paint window first.

    I'd spent some time trying to work it out for myself but was fooled by the clipboard window always closing prematurely. So thanks again.

    Also thanks to Frederick, although solved, I've noted your alternative suggestion.
