Hi everyone!
I managed to get it turned on on my desktop (running Windows 11 Pro) via the group policy method. On my laptop, however (running Home) I tried the registry method and it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

I didn't realise, you can install the group policy editor on the Home edition.
I will give that a go!

That did not work. I installed the group policy editor and enabled clipboard history and the option in settings is still greyed out.
EDIT - I tried the registry fix again and this time it worked. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

Is clipboard history working for anyone running the Dev build 25193. I just tried it, and it says nothing here. It does save the last thing that I copied to the clipboard. I restarted my desktop twice since turning it on.
