    Highlighted text is automatically copied to clipboard, how to change?


    By simply highlighting text it gets copied to the clipboard overwriting content already there. I think I may have set this to happen some time ago and can't now workout how I did it, or how to undo it.

    Can anyone help me stop this behaviour?

    Are you talking about (1) in the Operating System (explorer), (2) certain apps, or (3) a web-browser? If so, which one(s)?

    Thank you for your reply.

    I just discovered its now fixed. Since posting I updated to the Windows October update (went from 1803 to 1809), and this behaviour has stopped. Before this any highlighted txt from anywhere went straight to the clipboard.
