  1. Clipboard sync across devices - not working


    I have two Windows 10 laptops that have been confirmed via the settings "Your info" to be both logged in to the same Microsoft user account,.


    I have the clipboard settings on both to:


    Clipboard history: on

    Sync across devices: on

    Automatically Sync text that I copy: selected


    I have restarted both machines, but when I copy to the clipboard on either they are not being synced to the other.


    Clipboard history is working.


    Any ideas?

    :)

    Roamed text on the clipboard is only supported for clipboard content less than 100 kb. Currently, the clipboard history supports plain text, HTML and image less than 1 MB.

    Starting with Windows 10 build 18234, the image size limit has been increased from 1MB to 4MB to accommodate the potential size of full screen screenshots taken on a high-DPI devices.
