Hi DashielQuinn, if Win + V opens but the clipboard history panel is blank until you restart Explorer, the clipboard service or shell UI is likely hanging. First restart the Clipboard User Service from Services, then toggle Clipboard history off and back on in Settings > System > Clipboard. If you use clipboard sync across devices, turn sync off temporarily and test local history only. I would also check for shell customization tools, clipboard managers, or security software that may hook clipboard access. If the issue returns after a while, note whether it happens after sleep, docking, remote desktop, or switching users.
