That's good news, I attached a link about Microsoft releasing a mass update to Windows recently.
I have a call with Level 3 today, I will ask.

Clipboard stops to working in random time during the working day. Can't copy/paste, clipboard manager is empty. No any special actions done before this: it just stops to work in regular routine. I just have to restart Windows and hope to work for a next few hours.
It's make me crazy to restart my computer few times a day. I have complicated environment with VM's, Docker, IDE, SSH Terminals and should restart it JUST BECAUSE SUDDENLY I HAVE NO CLIPBOARD.
HOW IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE TO BREAK THE CLIPBOARD??? I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT JOKE
Windows 11 is broken! Please fix it!
I know here a lot of people with same issue. Please comment: let's make this problem visible to MS.
Please no generic advises about restart explorer, dism/sfc, troubleshooting and reinstalling my OS.
All of this was tried many times and doesn't solve this deep Windows bug.
My system information:
Windows 11 22H2 (x64), build 22621.2715, all the updates installed (Nov 2023)
Ryzen 7 5800H, 32 Gb RAM

UPDATES:
SOLUTION #1 (JUNE 2024): confirmed and tested
As I noticed before, clipboard issue was always after my computer was left for some time switched on. During this my screensaver was shown and SOME BACKGROUND TASKS performed. This caused the issue 100% of time! I was trying to find and disable background tasks - but it doesn't help.
So, here's my solution: don't let PC to get idle. I've installed Caffeinated utility and keep my PC always awake, even when I'm go out for a few hours or night. AND IT WORKS! For 1 month already no more Clipboard Problem, no any restart! So I recommend to try this method.
SOLUTION #2 (doubtful: works for some)
Discovered by Glen Decker, instructions by Kim-LarryPapp
I hope it can help shine a light. You can follow the steps below. Some things to note, I've placed keystrokes in square brackets to indicate the keyboard touches, and the 'WIN' key refers to the Windows Key on the keyboard. (e.g. [ctrl+alt+del])
UPDATE FROM SEPTEMBER 2024:
From the moment I discovered solution #1 I have no issues with clipboard at all - for 3 months in a row!
Just using Caffeinated utility or PowerToys Awake - yes, not fix, but stable workaround. At least I can do my job while Microsoft ignores this issue.

The good news is that i have come in this morning and.........I CAN STILL COPY AND PASTE!
the only change has been the windows updates. i might have to check the change logs and see what edits have been made.....assuming it will tell us.
i am hoping this is fixed now.
I was premature!! copy and paste is still broken. it has broken in the last 30 minutes.
ggrrrrr
Mine blue screened during install :/
I installed it this morning and my PC went into Disaster Recovery mode :D
Gave me a small heart attack, but on the second reboot it started normal.
by related, anything to do with copy and paste, or excel, or notepad.
the only thing in there was exclaimer updating my email signatures. :/
There were no other errors once i cleared the event log and tried to force the copy and paste error in excel, nothing was saved to the log file.
i installed the most recent windows updates earlier so lets see if that changes the mileage.
