WIN+V no longer has images when copied...

Microsoft PowerToys version

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Area(s) with issue?

Advanced Paste

Steps to reproduce

Using the snipping tool and/or copying images used to place them into the advanced PASTE area (WIN+V) but now it is erratic. It doesn't normally copy the images. The same is true for just right-clicking on an image. It used to put those images into the clipboard history and would allow me to paste them elsewhere without issue. Now, it rarely even copies the image over.

How can I go back to a working version of the clipboard? I am going to uninstall and reinstall but I think it has to do with this new version. An older version worked flawlessly.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I was expecting there to be a history of images that I could use in short term to copy/paste with others. The images are no longer being moved to the clipboard history.

❌ Actual Behavior

Nothing...once in a while a picture shows up there when copied but most times there is no picture.

Additional Information

Windows 11.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end, so I can only speculate that it might be related to certain system behaviors. One thing to note is that directly copying an image file won’t make it appear in the clipboard history, since you're copying the file itself, not the image content. To copy the image properly, you need to right-click on the image and select "Copy."

Also, in most cases, content should paste correctly after being copied. If pasting fails, it’s possible that the copy action didn’t succeed in the first place.

Hope this helps!
