Clipboard problems (can not copy/paste) in Windows 11

Dean, please let us know if this works. I have had no issues for over two weeks. Appears to be fixed. I have a call with Microsoft Level 3 and engineers Wednesday. I'm trying to get them to roll this small change out in their next windows update.

This statement makes it seem that your hibernate or sleep functions are putting down a process it can bring back to life.

Is it possible to simulate with the hibernate command? Or sleep? Or whatever your system is set to do over a long period of time?

I'm curious, how would this be applied as a Windows update? I'm not sure I understand how that will work. It is definitely responsible for something, name IoT and who knows what else.

The question is why is it broken, or how do we prove it so they'll look. It's something silly like a path without quotes (based on an empty 't' process) found when the culprit was at large...

I. Have. A. Plan. (<= If you know how to read this, then you've read it correctly =) )

How did you first submit your ticket. Perhaps I can begin to shake the same tree.

During one of my trouble shooting sessions with Microsoft, they requested that I do not put my P/C to sleep, hibernate or shut down for several days. What we identified is that after 24-28 hours it still failed no matter what. Since I applied Glen Decker fix, no issues whatsoever.

I'm guessing in a windows update that they will just code the "Connected Devices Platform" task as disabled and roll it out.

My first ticket was in January and started with Level 1 in a CHAT session. I explained it was a new P/C and had issues to avoid any hourly service charges. They accepted the fact they had an issue and then the fun began. I ended up opening 4-5 tickets in January because after each session when they logged on and took control of my P/C they would say it's fixed and close the ticket. Not knowing I had IT experience and supervised a helpdesk I then began to push the issue. They then passed me on to level 2 where I worked with them for two weeks doing windows rebuilds and reloading Office products. Level 2 finally gave up and passed me on to level 3, Microsoft highest level of support, that was early March. Now I finally have a support person on the same level as me, we kind of bonded, he trusted me, and I trusted him. I did everything he requested, rebuilds, reformat hard drive, contacted Dell, and recorded a video showing my keyboard strokes using PowerPoint. Losing faith in Microsoft I took my P/C to a computer repair shop and paid $135 to have them look at it, they again did a complete reformat of the hard drive and reload of Windows 11 and let it sit over the weekend, they said it was fixed and it failed again.

I then saw your fix, applied it, and BINGO, it's fixed. There is an APP called Feedback Hub where you can submit a problem, not sure if they would respond, but you can try it. Just click the Windows Start ICON and enter Feedback Hub in the search bar.

In the beginning Microsoft was going to charge per support session, I had to push their product was broke and sent them the link to this Forum.

Good Luck and keep in touch.
