Windows 10: Paste command not pasting most recent clipboard item

Hi, I'm working in Windows 10 and have a persistent problem with Copy + Paste. The problem is that the Paste command typically does not paste the most recent item from the clipboard, but rather pastes an item previously copied to the clipboard. So, for example, I might go grab something from the web via CTRL + C, and then try to copy it into an email, only to find that the pasted material is something I previously copied, not the material I copied most recently. At that point I have to go back, re-copy the stuff from the web, and try the paste command again. This works, but performing this sequence of steps twice most of the time is a pain in the...keyboard.


I'd welcome any suggestions. Thanks.

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

 

using copy/paste in command prompt

Hey, I suss'd it, If I "Copy" something to the clipboard, it stays there and can be "Pasted" into various places.

However, if I go to the Command Prompt Box, and first "left Click" to mark my place, then the clipboard is wiped out. so nothing is left to paste!! But, If I don't do the "left Click" first, just do a "Right Click" the contents of the clipboard are still
there and get pasted!!

I did not know that left clicking in the command prompt window would delete the contents of the clipboard, I tried it because I didn't think it would work, I learned something today.

As Kyhi said I to use the clipboard to paste commands, When I right click in the command window it automatically pastes itself in.
