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?

@wwddss Yeah, I also experience this and it is very annoying. This is the main reason I have not yet upgraded my main PC to Windows 11. Still on Windows 10. Hope they fix it soon.
Please post here if you or anyone else have any workarounds.

A few days ago I got a new computer with Windows 10 and upgraded to 11. I use the clipboard a lot and just found that I cannot delete entries. Very annoying, but actually it's not that the delete key is not working - the delete key actually deletes from your text! Maybe you haven't noticed, because the cursor is at the end of the text, but if you move at the middle, bring the clipboard, hit delete and one character of the text is gone and the clipboard closes. I'm thinking of downgrading back to W10. Not only because of the clipboard, but for just a few days of using it, I feel it's not that stable as W10.
