COMPUTER CLIPBOARD HISTORY UPDATE

Now starting with Windows 10 October 2018 Update ( Version 1809), Windows 10 introduced a new Clipboard to overcome the limitations of the old Clipboard. Depending on the file type you can choose the place where you want to paste, suppose if it is an image, you need to paste it on Word to check the copied content. If you want to check what content you have copied previously, you simply need to press Ctrl + V or right-click and choose the Paste option. It means if you copied one piece of content, you cannot copy other content.

It stores your copied content until you copy other content. In a technical term, Clipboard is a special section of RAM memory to store temporary data. This is why it is essential to clear clipboard history in Windows 10. Is there something to worry about? Yes, suppose you copied some important credentials and forgot to delete it, anybody using that computer can get access to those copied credentials easily. However, we may not now that if you copy some content on Windows, it stores in the Windows clipboard and remains there until you delete it or paste that content and copy other content. Early days.One of the most commonly used Windows features is Copy & Paste. However I deleted as many as I could and Chrome doesn't appear to be "managed" any more after a restart. There is also a file to delete, but for me, that didn't exist either. Most delete OK, but one or two refuse to be deleted or don't exist. In the Windows method there are a scary number of Registry entries to remove. It talks about having a Google administrators account for one method.

It gives several different versions of instructions on how to remove this setting. I finally found a Google article about Chrome browser being "managed by your organisation" when it is on your own private PC. The "some of these settings are managed by your organization" is still displayed, but enough for today, I've achieved 80% of what I wanted. To 1 finally enables Win-V and in Clipboard Settings the switch is no longer greyed out and can be operated. This, on it's own, still does not work, but going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\ Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Clipboard I finally found a partial solution using Regedit. And Clipboard History (Win-V) still doesn't work.Īny ideas how to remove the annoying message and get clipboard history working? But still no clipboard history, although Settings now shows it is supposed to be enabled, albeit greyed out and the message is still there. I do finally find "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > OS Policies > Allow clipboard History" and enable it. There are several videos on Youtube showing ways of removing the message and allowing changes.

Since this is the Home Edition it does not come with group policy editor installed (gpedit.msc) so I had to download and install it. Tried to change the clipboard history enabled in settings, but it's switched off and greyed out and the message "some of these settings are managed by your organization" is displayed. I am running Windows 10 Home with the latest updates.
