Windows 10: Clipboard History will not paste in Windows 10

Clipboard history keeps track of copy history but will not paste entries when any item is selected from the history. This occurs in any Windows application.

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.

 

Pasting multiple items from Windows 10 clipboard history into the same document

Suppose I want to paste more than one item from Windows 10 clipboard history into a document. Is
it possible to make windows 10 clipboard history pop-up persist after pasting one item so that I do not have to press Windows +
V shortcut repeatedly for each item? Thanks

 

Where is "Clipboard Viewer"?

Hi cwr64

Windows 10 has a built in Clipboard History that may meet your requirements.

Clipboard History will allow you to save multiple Items and select from the list to paste.

settings -> system -> clipboard

turn on clipboard history

Save items to the clipboard in the normal way (e.g. Ctrl+C) then when you come to paste, use Winkey+V to select the item from the list.
