Windows 10 Trick I Didn’t Learn Until I was Old

If only Mac had this feature too…

Have you ever run across a feature in Windows that you should have had LONG ago? I found out about this and wished I had known long ago. It actually was introduced in 2018, but it has been a nice productivity feature for me.

This seems like something pretty novice to share, but there hasn’t been one person I have shared this with who knew about it. Every single one also was thrilled to know about it. What is this simple trick?

How often have you copied something (Ctrl+C) and pasted (Ctrl+V) more than once and wished you could just recall a copy command from 3 times back rather than go and find the text or image and repeat it? Well, Windows introduced Clipboard History. All you need to do is select the Windows Key+V and it pops up a list of your previous copy commands. I have found this to be such a great feature that I love to share it.

Maybe I am just unaware and most everyone knows, but that hasn’t been my experience since I learned it. Please share this with all your PC-using friends and they will thank you.

Now I just need to get Apple to include this in their iOS…
