Does anyone have a fix for the Windows 11 Clipboard service hang?
Symptoms:
- Cut/Paste works only with last copy/cut - history is frozen
- New copy/cut entries do not show up in history
- Clear history appears to work, but calling it back up using Win-V shows the same stale history as before it was cleared.
- The Clipboard User Service is missing from Task Manager Services when the problem occurs.
- The problem seems to occur after doing a lot of cut/copy/paste with Excel, but not sure if there is a connection.
Running services.msc from an admin shows the Clipboard User Service is running (even though it's missing in Task Manager).
Attempting to stop/start the service from services.msc fails with: Windows could not stop the Clipboard Service - Error 1053 The service did not respond.
As of now, I have to reboot to fix it and this is a pain as it occurs several times a day.
