Clipboard history makes copying and pasting quicker, but it can also store sensitive info you may not want to leave behind.

How to Enable:

– Press Windows + V, then select ‘Turn on’.

How to Clear History:

– Press Windows + V, click ‘Clear all’.
– Or go to Settings > System > Clipboard and click ‘Clear’.

What it’s for:

Makes copying multiple items easy while allowing you to erase any private or confidential items in seconds.

Pro‑Tip: Clipboard history clears automatically on restart (unless you’ve pinned items) but clearing manually adds extra peace of mind.
