Windows 10: Win 10 Clipboard randomly pasting

I copy text to the clipboard and paste it somewhere. Then I'll move to another app, primary button click and it pastes the text where my cursor is. There have been times when an Outlook New Mail window opens with the cursor nowhere near Outlook with the text pasted in it. Sometimes I'll be in Excel and suddenly the text appears in a cell. I'll be editing code and suddenly the text appears in the middle of the code. It appears to be mouse related.Any thoughts or suggestions?ThanksHmm, doesn't seem to be a good topic to put this in, there really needs to be Basic Windows or Something Else to

:)

 

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.

 

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.

 

Pasting from clipboard

Hi BetwixtAg

Click your Start Button, then just type paint and form the resulting list open the Paint Application

In Paint, press Ctrl + V does that image paste form the clipboard?

If not, leave Paint open, press the Windows Key + V to open the clipboard

Click the Paint window, then click that image on the clipboard app, does that paste the image into Paint?
