Windows Clipboard's "Win+V" problem

Ever since 20H2 (maybe before?), my 'Win+V' key malfunctions. It shows a transparent window with nothing in it (no Clipboard icon and no history of recent clips), and then disappears totally a minute later. The Event Viewer does show this message without any suggestion on how to correct the problem:
The Clipboard User Service_b1ee0d4 service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3 time(s).
I should mention that I am still able to cut and paste so the Clipboard Service is still functioning, just not the 'Win+V' key combo.

I'm running Win10 Pro version 21H1 and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

 

Clipboard

My windows 10 computer has a clipboard feature where if I want to copy something, I have to click copy and paste stuff from the clipboard. I would much rather use the Windows key + C and Windows key + V for easier access and because it is quicker. Is there
a step-by-step procedure that someone can tell me to turn clipboard off and use Windows C and V instead?

 

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.
