Windows 10: How to enable ClipSVC

So, I don't remember but, apparently I disabled ClipSVC. I don't remember how I did it, but somehow i managed to disable it. Now I need it enabled to update my Microsoft Store apps. I can't interact with it whatsoever.

:)

 

How to Start the ClipSVC service?

Microsoft Store was not opening and on looking in service i found out that ClipSVC service is stopped. I tried to start it but it is not starting at all. Can anyone please tell me how to start the ClipSVC service.

 

ClipSVC - what it really is

This post is intended for curious users who notice something like ClipSVC in their monitoring or analysis of activity on their Windows 10 computer. Being one such person my internet searches yielded a lot of just wrong information -- at least in so far
as it relates to Windows 10.

I can't find it documented directly by Microsoft but by noting that ClipSVC is actually a path element leading to a file tokens.dat, I have been able to find useful information: it's part of the licensing system and has nothing to do with the clipboard (which
is what many misleading websites report).

I learned this from an answer to an unrelated question on
Answers Here

So nothing is being "clipped" and there are no privacy or other concerns I can identify associated with the file.

 

New FF - passwords

Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
