Windows 10: Copy & Paste Keeps Forgetting (Clipboard Problem)

If I am copying and pasting text from one text file to another. Or from anywhere to anywhere, it usually forgets after a single paste, and I have to go and re-copy it again. Or, if I copy something and don't paste it straight away, it will forget before I even get to paste it at all.

I don't know why the clipboard keeps losing its contents. I have read about a lot of people having the issue.
Some have said that clearing the contents will work (cmd.exe /c "echo off | clip"), but not for me.
I have also tried using the "Clear Clipboard" Shortcut posted on this site.

I've done check disks and system file checker, but still the same. *Sad

Any ideas?
I am using Windows 10 64-bit Version 1809.

Copy/Paste Clipboard file types.

I lose transparency when copying and pasting from Photoshop to Illustrator. I believe this is because when switching applications, Photoshop exports the clipboard data to the OS clipboard, and Windows clipboard(as I understand it) only takes image data as
BMP which doesn't allow for transparency. Is there a workaround? like an application that adds functionality to the clipboard that would address this issue?

When I copy and paste from illustrator to Photoshop, the transparency remains. I think this is because Illustrator allows you to export clipboard data as pdf data.

 

copy and paste

Windows standard works in most places:

Select first item in a list (one click)

For contiguous list selection:

Hold the Shift key down, click on the last item in a list

For non-contiguous list selection:

Hold the Ctrl key down, click on each item you want to save

With selected items shown, simply hold the Ctrl key down and press the c key

These steps will save what you have selected to the Windows clipboard

You can then paste what is on the clipboard (not-selectively) in most places by simply placing the cursor where you want the copy to be, then hold down the Ctrl key and press v

 

How do you copy and paste? what is a clipboard?

Clipboard is a temporary storage area in the memory (instead of disk drive), which can store images as well as text. To paste data from clipboard, use the Paste command (CTRL+V) which is supported by almost all applications and edit control boxes.

If the clipboard object is in text format, then open Notepad or any other text editor, and choose Paste. Note that to keep the source formatting intact (suppose you copy text from a website), you'll need to paste it in an editor that supports rich text capabilities..
like Microsoft Word. Pasting in Notepad strips off all the special text formatting.

If the clipboard object is an image, then open Paint (mspaint.exe), paste it and save the file.
