The small clipboard icon is not showing in my windows. And clipboard history is already on. my windows 11 is fully updated.

Is there any way I can open the clipboard without pressing (Windows logo + V)?

 

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.

 

How do I open clipboard in Windows 11 ? Windows logo + V shows a small window2 with no content.

Hey Exstumpie, thank you for reaching out to us.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the clipboard in Windows 11. Clipboard issues can be frustrating, but there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the problem. Please follow these steps:

1. **Check Clipboard History settings**:
- Press the Windows logo key + I to open the Settings app.
- Go to System > Clipboard.
- Ensure that "Clipboard history" is turned on.

2. **Restart Clipboard History**:
- Press Windows logo key + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type `services.msc` and press Enter.
- In the Services window, scroll down to find "Clipboard User Service" or "ClipboardSvc."
- Right-click on it and select "Restart."

3. **Check Windows Update**:
- Sometimes, issues can be caused by missing updates. Make sure Windows is up to date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and click on "Check for updates."

4. **Update Graphics Drivers**:
- Outdated graphics drivers can sometimes cause problems. Visit the manufacturer's website (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel) and download the latest drivers for your graphics card.

5. **Run SFC and DISM commands**:
- Press Windows logo key + X and select "Windows Terminal (Admin)" or "Command Prompt (Admin)."
- In the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter: `sfc /scannow`
- Wait for the process to complete, and then type the following command and press Enter: `DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`
- Once the DISM command finishes, restart your computer.

6. **Create a New User Account**:
- Sometimes, user account corruption can cause issues. Create a new user account and see if the clipboard works in the new account.

7. **Check for Third-Party Software Conflicts**:
- If you have recently installed any third-party software, it might be conflicting with the clipboard feature. Try uninstalling recently added applications and check if the clipboard works without them.

8. **Perform a System Restore**:
- If the issue started recently, you can try performing a System Restore to revert your system to a point before the problem occurred.

If none of the above steps work, the issue may be related to a bug or a more significant problem with your Windows installation.
