Clipboard in Windows was not so helpful for power users before the release of Windows 10 version 1809. If a person needed to copy and paste multiple items to the clipboard rather than overwriting the last item, he had to use 3rd party Clipboard managers. But you need not to worry, because if you are using the version 1809 of Windows 10, you will find this feature in your PC. You just need to press Windows logo key + V to open the Clipboard history.

How it works

It is the feature, which allows you to copy multiple items to your clipboard rather than overwriting the last item when another is added.

To use this feature, You need to turn the Clipboard History ON.

To open Clipboard settings, go to the
Settings > System > Clipboard.

These are the features, which you can find :

  • Copy multiple items and keep them separately.
  • Sync the Clipboard items across the devices.
  • Pin frequently used items.

You need to click on the item you want to paste. You can also Pin or delete the items by clicking on the three dots.

Final words

Most of the users will like this feature and replace it with the 3rd party clipboard managers if they are using. However, some of you may want more features and functions and to fulfil this, there are several other choices too.
