If you are using Windows operating system, you might know that the operating system already includes a clipboard manager. However, the default clipboard in Windows 10/11 stores only one thing at a time; the next thing you copy always replaces the previously copied content. The default clipboard manager is helpful, but it doesn’t provide complete control. For example, you can’t copy and save multiple items; you can’t access the list of things you have copied before and more. Microsoft knows this and has developed a new Clipboard manager for Windows 10. The same clipboard manager is also available for Windows 11, but it’s hidden under the settings. Users need to manually enable the Clipboard history feature to save multiple items. Also Read: How to View WiFi Password in Windows 11
