I am grateful to your article for atleast confirming that the ‘clipboard’ can not be used without turning on the ‘history’ feature, even if I don’t like the answer.

I think MS need to rethink their decision to design the ‘clipboard’ as an ‘all or nothing’ operation…. you either keep lots of stuff you’ve copied (which as your article points out), not everyone wants / needs, or nothing at all, which is unhelpful.

It ought to be usable (as in the past with older MS systems), to copy one item to the clipboard, which then gets automatically deleted when the next item is copied and (better still) first flags up a warning to point out that the previous item has not been saved elsewhere yet.

I am left with one question though. As my history is turned off, where does Win 10 store an item copied using the ‘take a screen shot’ feature, for me to paste else where when I press ‘CTRL V’?

It is, what you want is how it works—try it.

Thanks for the vary detailed and complete subject in this tutorial.
You have a skill to explain things that many others can only try to do; everyone can understand and implement any desired action.

I am sure it alerted many to the possible hazard of posting complex passwords that they thought were safe, and then realizing how easily it is to having them retrieve by others if they have access to their PC!!

Thanks for sharing you expertise with the group.
