How to increase size of clipboard window in Windows 11

Hi. I am new to Windows 11 and need some help. I have reviewed the link below but it doesn't answer my questions.

How can the size of the window for the Clipboard be increased to view more than 3 clips at a time? I see no way to drag the window to increase its size and the current size is way too small.

With an enlarged window, is there a way to "Edit" clips so we can delete multiple clips at one time?

Thanks for your help! https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-use-clipboard-manager-in-windows-11/

    Greg,

    Thanks again for the suggestions. I only want to change the size of the Clipboard Manager window. Guess I'll search for another Clipboard app to use. The old Clipboard in Windows 10 worked just fine, so of course Microsoft changes it for Windows 11. :(

    I'll send feedback but I won't be holding my breath.

    Hi again DJ -

    Here are some decent alternative clipboards for WIndows 11:

    I hope it helps. Let me know if I can help further. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case you need anything else, until the system locks it in a few months.

    Thanks, Greg. I opened Notepad, expanded that window, then opened my Clipboard Manager (CM). When I click on a clip, nothing happens. I can't copy/paste it into Notepad, nor can I drag it into Notepad. When I click on the 3 dots by the clip, my only option is to Delete. I thought I would be able to copy it but that is not an option.

    Is the workaround saying I have to open Notepad every time I want to use a clip? Or, that by resizing the Notepad window, somehow that will make the Clipboard Manager window expand to the same size as the Notepad? Either way, I still can't use the CM as it currently is.

    Any other ideas? I really appreciate your suggestions.

    Donna

    P.S. I just looked more carefully and saw I was supposed to "pin" the clip in order to Copy, and then I was able to Paste into Notepad. Below is the size of my CM window and I would like for the whole window to be about half of my 17" screen size.

    Hi DJ. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

    There's a workaround here in case the window shrinks way too small that you can try: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    There is no other way I've found to enlarge the clipboard popup in System Tray in Windows 11.

    DJ, it seemed like the workaround was only needed once to get it to work right but also was kind of a long shot.

    The only other way I know to increase this and all other objects if it suits you is to increase DPI scaling in Settings > System > Display. Try 125% to start and if that's too big then I usually find a sweet spot around 112%-118%.
