I've tried to replicate it, but changing in PowerToys Settings is not turning this on in Windows Setting, nor does it allow me to use clipboard history. @htcfreek Is this just an UI issue? From the issue description, you seem to be saying this is overriding GPO, which doesn't seem to be the case for me.

@jaimecbernardo If you enable it in PT and then open the settings page the switch is turned on. And I use Win10. Your screenshot is from Windows 11. Maybe UX behave differently in Windows 10 Settings.

But even if the Windows Settings app shows the feature as enabled I can't open the Clipboard history or access any history data in PT's Advanced Paste.
