How To Adjust Maximum Counts of Clipboard History - Win 10 version 1909

Hi Chris,

I totally agree with you. After doing some further digging. It appears you are right. Clipboard history will only allow these images if it is less than 4mb in size.

Here's the reference topic:

"Clipboard history first appeared in Windows 10’s October 2018 Update (Version 1809). Currently, Clipboard history supports text, HTML, and images less than 4 MB in size. Larger items won’t be stored in the history."

I would urge you to use our Feedback Hub app to suggest this to our developers and who knows they might include this in the future updates.

Thank you very much for your reply. I tried turning the clipboard on and off but there is no change. However, after checking some things, I think I know what the problem is. When I copy text or small sized pictures more items are appearing in the clipboard. So I think the problem is that by default when a picture is greater than a certain size then fewer items will appear in the clipboard history. My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 so a typical screenshot will have a large file size. 

So there may be no solution unless in the future, Microsoft allow pictures with larger sizes to be stored in the clipboard history.

Kind regards

Chris

Hi Chris,

Good day! This is Jhakesong an Independent Advisor and I will be happy to assist you with this.

You mentioned that you were only able to see 2 counts of items in your Clipboard History.

Give these a try. There is no way to reset the clipboard history feature itself, but try to Turn it OFF and Turn it back ON.

1. Go to search, type Clipboard press Enter
2. Under Clipboard history, move the slider from ON to OFF then Turn it back ON
3. Click Clear from the bottom part.
4. Give it a try again.

Since this is windows feature, if the issue still persists, Try running this command in CMD.

1. Go to search, CMD, open command prompt as Administrator
2. Type this command:

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth press Enter

3. Wait for the process to finish and check if the issue still persists.

If the above don't work, Try creating another user profile and see if the same issue is present on the new account.

Let me know how it goes, Have a great day.

Thank you for your reply and for your help with this issue. I will check out the information.

Kind regards

Chris
