Copy & Paste not working correctly it pastes a previous copied text

This is very annoying!

I could fairly say that 1/3 of the time 

Copy & Paste are not working correctly. It pastes a previous copied text.

I did a reboot and i tried several copy/paste methods and it's still doing it. It's been like this for the past 4 days.

Let's say that i copy an url from notepad. I then paste it into a browser. Everything is fine.

I then copy something else and paste it into a blog (or whatever)! Boom, I get a something i copied a while back. Like if it has on memory, the copy i did 5, 6 or 7 shots before and it gets selected here and there. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but it's always the same old copy that comes back. Even if i copied a couple of things. It keeps coming back here and there.

Let me know

Thanks

    Try clearing the clipboard, to do it:

    1. Go to the command prompt
    2. Run it as administrator
    3. Type this command: cmd /c echo.|clip
    4. Hit enter and it should clear the clipboard.

    Good Day AndreLevasseur1,

    My name is Carlo, I'm an Independent Advisor and community member like you.

    I am also using Windows 10 pc. Let us work together to sort this out.

    Here's the steps you can try.

    -Click Start, type CMD and run it as administrator

    -Copy and paste the command below and hit enter.

    Sfc /scannow

    Wait until the pc finishes scanning and repairing any corrupted system files then proceed with the next command

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Once done restart your pc using Cleanboot.

    This process will eliminate 3rd party application running in the background of your computer along with services that are not needed to run windows. If there's any conflicting 3rd party application that causes the issue on your computer, this process will stop it.

    1. Open the run box by pressing the Windows Key + R and type msconfig
    2. System Configuration Utility box will open and by default you are on general tab.
    3. On the General tab, click the selective startup and make sure that load system service and load startup items both have checked mark.
    4. Click on services tab
    5. Put a check mark on Hide All Microsoft Services
    6. Once Hide all Microsoft Services have checked mark on it, click on Disable All
    7. Click on the Startup Tab and click open task manager. This will open another window which contains all your startup applications on the administrator account.
    8. Disable all application that you're not using. You can simply just click on them and select disable.
    9. Click OK, Apply and close the configuration utility
    10. Restart your pc and let me know how it goes.

    If issue persist you check for updates and install to keep your device up to date.

    -Press Windows key + X

    -Click Settings

    -Go to Update and Security

    -Check for Updates and install

    I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    With Warm Regards,

    Carlo T.
