Hi Matthias Biedler,

Thanks for your post. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Make sure you’ve turned on clipboard history. To turn your clipboard on for the first time, select Windows logo key + V and select Turn on.

Clipboard history gets cleared each time you restart your PC, except for the items you’ve pinned.

2. You can choose to have your copied items sync automatically to your other devices.
3. Select Start  > Settings  > System  > Clipboard .
4. In the Clipboard history across your devices section, set the toggle to On.
5. Select Automatically sync text that I copy.

Note that your size limitations are 4 MB per item. Text, HTML, and Bitmap file formats are supported.
