Windows 10: Windows 11 CLIPBOARD not pasting the last item copied

Hello,I've been dealing with this issue for several months but I grew tired of it an need a solution since it's bringing me problems at work. The clipboard would paste the item previous to the last I copied and I have to delete and hit paste once again and then it would paste the last item copied, or sometimes nothing at all. Can you please help me solve the issue? It's driving me nuts.SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONSWindows 11 Home Single Language, 21H2, OS BUILD 22000.2538

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

 

How to paste from latest item from Clipboard without losing all un-pinned items (reboot)?

Thanks Martin for useful and detailed advise, however if Clipboard fails within 2 hours even when I restart Windows every 3 hours, I prefer to have a simple manual reset for non-IT user (if this is correct description of your advise); can you simplify steps 2 and/or 3? such that I can reset after say 10 copy and paste? option 1 didn't work which made me post this question. I also tried Powershell but admin right is required.

Otherwise, I have to:

1. wait for Windows 11 or
   
2. think of workaround. Clipboard of Microsoft Office App doesn't have this problem.
