Do you want to turn on the clipboard history in Windows 11 to access the recent copied items? In this feature, you’ll learn how to open and access the clipboard history in Windows 11.

When you copy something on your computer, it is automatically transferred to your clipboard and pasted. Not only can you paste multiple items from your clipboard history with Windows 11, but you can also pin items you use frequently and sync your clipboard history to other devices through the cloud.

The clipboard history in Windows is limited to 4MB and up to 25 copied entries. The following formats are supported: text, HTML, and Bitmap. Except for those that are pinned, your clipboard history is immediately wiped when you reboot your PC. Your clipboard history is also synced across all of your Microsoft-connected devices.

When Windows 11 is launched to the general public, it will have a slew of new features and upgrades that will appeal to some while posing problems to others. People will have to learn new methods to interact with and manage Windows 11 because certain features and settings have changed so significantly.

Windows 11 will remember images, text, scripts, links, documents, and movies under 4 MB when you enable the clipboard history feature. Windows 11, on the other hand, will only save a maximum of 25 entries. The very last copied item will be deleted from the clipboard once it reaches the number 25 limit. As new things arrive, the older items will be removed from the clipboard history. Additionally, unless an item is pinned to the Clipboard, the Clipboard history list will be reset every time your computer or laptop is restarted.

So, in order to open or view the clipboard history on Windows 11, you must enable it first.

Here are the steps to enable it.

Step 1. Press Win key + I at the same time to open Settings directly.
