Clipboard history not being displayed.

Hello all!

Currently experiencing an issue with the clipboard, in which the clipboard history is showing as empty when using the Win + V key-bind.

Here is a list of everything I have tried in order to fix this:

Switching the clipboard history on and off

Clearing clipboard history

Restarted File Explorer from Task Manager

Restarting clipboard service in services.msc
Creating new DWORD value in regedit

Enabled 'Allow Clipboard History' in GPedit

So far, nothing has shown any signs of working and I cannot find anything else online which might help with this.

For context, copy and paste still functions normally, the only problem is, at the moment, there is absolutely no way to view the clipboard history.

Many thanks,

Will

 

Clear command prompt history from within batch.

No and Yes.

You can set the size of the list of remembered commands to zero. This will clear all the history, but will also turn off recording any further history. So you should then set a size for the list. Use the command DOSKEY /LISTSIZE=0 after the line prompting for the password. eg..

Code:

 

Clear command prompt history from within batch.

I have a batch, running in "Command Prompt", that prompts for a password. For any number of reasons I can't guarantee that the window will close before exposing that data (arrow keys browse history list).

Is there a way to keep the password out of the list or is there a way to clear the list from within the batch itself?

Thank you.
