Solved

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to access the folder containing the clipboard documents?

Clicking on the Windows icon and on V only gives me the image of the captured document, but I can't print it or access the folder that contains the captured images and other texts (it used to be so simple "before"...)

Thank you

    Hello,

    The clipboard folder itself is inaccessible because it doesn't exist; it is stored in RAM.

    To retrieve its history, you need to enable it via Settings-System-Clipboard, where Windows+V will fetch the selections; in any case, it is never very practical, its primary function is copy-paste, not printing.

    I have disabled most Windows applications, so I cannot test, but the Snipping Tool in Windows accessories allows you to save captures in your chosen folder, making this issue moot; there are also many third-party screenshot software that serve the same purpose (I use PrintKey2000, an antique that gets the job done, the current consensus is Greenshot).

    If you still care about the clipboard and are not satisfied with the Windows functionality, there are also many clipboard management software available:
