I recently moved to Windows 11 (installed from scratch), and as soon as it was ready I activated the Clipboard History with the Win+V shortcut, since I really liked this feature on Windows 10.
But after a short while I noticed the Windows 11 Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key anymore.
On Windows 10 this works:
- Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V
- Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys
- Hit Delete on your keyboard and that entry will be removed from the history. Clipboard History remains open so you can repeat this for as many entries as you like.
On Windows 11:
- Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V
- Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys
- Hit Delete on your keyboard, then the Clipboard History closes with no error or message. If you invoke the Clipboard History again, the entry is still there.
So apparently there are only two options on Windows 11 now, use the "Clear all" button to remove all the entries from the history. Or click the 3 dots next to each entry you want to remove and then click Delete, which is... annoying if compared to Windows 10.
Is there a way to make the Delete key work again?
