What Clipboard Data Gets Stored?
The earlier Windows clipboard was basic as it stored only one item at a time.
This made third-party developers introduce clipboard managers which could handle more than that.
Microsoft introduced the new improved Clipboard in the Windows 10 1809 (October 2018) update.
All items are synced to your Windows account.
Clipboard history wont store anything larger than the 4 MB limit.
it’s possible for you to pin up to 25 items in the clipboard.
When you pin more, older items are automatically pushed out to make room for new ones.
If you are concerned about cloud sync and privacy, you could kill the feature in Windows tweaks.
To disable clipboard history, select theStartbutton, and choose the gear icon forSettings.
Alternatively, use theWindows key + Ikeyboard shortcut.
On theSystemsidebar, scroll toClipboard.
Go to the section calledClipboard historyand toggle the switch toOff.
