    Recently, Win10 Clipboard gets overwritten by various OS actions


    I started becoming aware of this maybe early-mid way through 2018.


    I would be copy-pasting stuff around, and sometimes content that I was expecting to be there, was not. I'd do it again- and it would work.

    But this kept happening. To start with I convinvced myself I just had fat-fingered the keystroke. But this is not the case.


    I used ClipClip to monitor the clipboard while I did a few things in File Explorer. And yes, the clipboard is definitely being overwritten, and NOT BY ME. This is a problem in Windows I believe; it didn't always do this.


    At very least, if I use Ctrl-Shift-N to create a new folder, it seems to put the parent path text into the clipboard.


    Also, if I right-click on a folder, I can see the same behaviour (but not always, I haven't worked out the exact conditions required for this).



    A video demonstrating the problem can be found at https://youtu.be/eRHVWW4b898



    I'm totally surprised that nobody else seems to be fighting with this. Perhaps they assume it's "just me" too.

    Where is the Clipboard?

    The clipboard is not something you can find. It is (at least on the windows phone) an inaccessible part of the phone, where your last copied text is stored.



    This is how it works.



    • You highlight a text, and say COPY.
    • the phone OS puts information in the CLIPBOARD.
    • You go another area where text can be input and tap PASTE. Whatever information is in the CLIPBOARD gets pasted.
