Using Windows 10’s New Clipboard: History and Cloud Sync

You can now access a history of items you’ve copied to your clipboard, pin frequently used items, and sync your clipboard across your PCs.
I’ve just enabled this facility, which may (or may not) come in useful … 
IIRC, an earlier version of Windows clipboard had the facility for retaining recently copied objects, but I can’t remember which one … 
Using Windows 10’s New Clipboard: History and Cloud Sync
If you choose to enable this feature, be aware of the potential security risks.
[LIST]
[*]If you’re one of those that usually copy sensitive information (such as passwords, addresses, names, etc.), anything you copy to the clipboard will store in plain text, and anyone with access to your computer will now be able to see this information by just using the Windows key + V shortcut.
[*]In addition, if you enable the sync option, you’ll also be uploading your history to the Microsoft servers.
[/LIST]
Since I can live without it, I’ve disabled the facility.
Same here. I found a Clipboard extender (a utility that stores copied files and text) was handy when I was writing a web site but it was one that stored clips on the computer only. If I needed a Clipboard extender again, I’d use something similar rather than store copied files/information in the Cloud.
There are a number of third-party Clipboard extenders/managers available.
Not something I’d want to use, in fact as many here know I am no fan of Microsoft!
Actually, though, I do use One Drive. Hopefully, that is not as potentially dangerous with regard to security.
The NEW OneDrive does have some major changes regarding what’s ON and what’s OFF LINE.
Thanks. I’ll do my best to avoid it then!

The roll-out of version 1809 (October Update) has been resumed:
I’ve just checked Windows Update and 1803 is being installed on my (recently reset) laptop …
… but 1809 is being re-installed on my Desktop … 
ETA 1809 installed and working OK on Desktop …
I think those who already had version 1809 installed before the update was pulled last month are getting a more minor update for it rather than the whole thing being reinstalled.
That’s true … the DT update only took 5 minutes …
The following in the article is interesting:
[I]If we detect that your device may have an issue, such as an application incompatibility, we will not install the update until that issue is resolved, even if you “Check for updates,” so you avoid encountering any known problems. For those advanced users seeking to install the update early by manually using “Check for updates” in settings, know that we are slowly throttling up this availability, while we carefully monitor data and feedback
We plan to add a Windows update status dashboard in the coming year to provide more information on any issues that lead to update blocks.[/I].
It therefore looks like updates could be blocked by having an incompatible program installed. I don’t know what sort that might be though. Perhaps some security program or other could cause it.
Yes, I read that. On the face of it, it sounds reassuring but, nevertheless, I’ll stick with my ‘metered connection’ ploy for a bit longer as it seems to have worked so far.
Personally, I’m relatively happy with Windows 10 as it is and really have no wish to have any additional features, etc, installed.
I’m used to it now.
Updates are far less than before.
My system must have been updated last night because it was still shutting down when I went to bed.
Sweetie pie is right there seem to be less updates now, I think I read somewhere that Tuesday was Soylent Gre… sorry… update day.
It is; I checked. Here are the dates for Windows 10 updates:

Now all you Windows 7 tragics know what you are missing out on between now and 14th Jan 2020 when you are thrown to the wolves.
Vista was cast adrift last year and I haven’t noticed a scrap of difference…
Bring it on microsoft!..
I assume you are still successfully using Vista?
Such a situation would suit me too. I am perfectly happy with a working OS (W10 in my case) and have absolutely no wish for constant interference and ‘improvements’ from Microsoft.
As long as it works, it is all I want and, after all, I have paid for it; surely it is MY operating system.
I sure am JB, It is installed on my desktop PC and I can fulfill all of my computer needs on it. Visiting Over 50’s, making and updating spreadsheets and databases, Electronics and Property Drawings, and Internet Banking. It also serves as backup for my netbook that still operates on Windows 7…It’s never received a microsoft update in it’s life, and neither has my netbook. Never had any bother at all…
I hope I don’t regret writing this…:shock:
Makes you wonder, doesn’t it, whether all these subsequent Windows are not offered as a means to part us from our money!
