Does anyone know what process Win key + V actually opens?


paste text or graphics as well
never tried images. i just tested it very quickly to see how lightweight it is

support sharing so other machines internet connected regardless of location can share the items in the clipboard
dont think so. i dont use a Microsoft account, but there isnt a login for it so i dont believe so. it does keep a txt file for clipboard though, so i suppose if you kept that on a network share...

Before I asked, I did visit the link you provided and somehow it sounds like text only which was why I asked just to be certain and it doesn't mention anything about sharing but it could come in handy if I ever needed to borrow content from a clipboard on another system somewhere else or locally. As thought you would know way more about the product than I would as I have not even downloaded it yet.

I managed to get it working again without restarting by killing the svchost.exe process with the same PID that System Informer shows for the Clipboard Service, the Clipboard Service started again on it's own and the Win Key + V is basically the same as when one reboots meaning only the pinned items exists as anything that was added after logging in but not pinned is now gone and I can copied items do get added to it.
Yes - just tried this and it worked for me also.

Thank you.

I forgot to mention that I did kill and restart the explorer.exe process but it made no difference.
