    I'm seeing a related problem where when I have an item on the clipboard and click on it, something else other than that item gets pasted to the document.

    For instance, if I have some text on the clipboard and then I screen capture a portion of an app window. Then I want to paste the text into a document, so I Win + V and bring up the history, click on the text, and instead I get the screen snip.

    What is causing that?

    Hi, I was having this issue and this was the fix I found... for now at least until it happens again.

    On the Task Manager type "clipboard" in the search bar and that should open the Windows Clipboard then right-click the only option that populates and End Process.

    This should Close and refresh your Clipboard for the next time you use the shortcut CTRL+V.
