Windows operating system from Microsoft, including the new Windows 11 come with support for a feature named Clipboard history, which as the name indicates, is a feature that extends the functionality of the traditional clipboard feature by adding support to hold all the recently copied data as history which can then be used later on by the user.
The content in clipboard history can be organized for quick access and can also be uploaded to the cloud and synced across all the devices that are linked to the Microsoft account used on the Windows 11 device. If you are one of those users who are not making use of the feature, then it can be easily disabled.
In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to disable the Clipboard History feature on your Windows 11 computer using the Settings application.
