My clipboard keeps clearing itself on my new PC build

Hi there, I recently built a new PC from scratch and installed Windows 10 Pro but I've been having an issue with it since day one (it's been about two months since I first noticed the problem):

My computer just loses whatever I have copied to my clipboard. I try to paste and nothing is there.

It's gotten incredibly annoying, and will sometimes happen as many as 4-5 times in a 15 minute session of copy/paste intensive work.

I'm at a complete loss as to what to do here. Help, please? It makes doing my work feel like I am constantly swimming against the current just trying to do basic data entry.

Hello!

I'm your Independent Advisor for today. Let's figure this out and come up with a solution.

You need to make sure that "Clipboard history" is on. Go to Settings > System > Clipboard and toggle the switch for "Clipboard history" on. Pressing Windows key + V will display the recent text and images you copied and select them to copy and paste.

Hope this helps.
