Try upgrading top 3.071, there have been some improvements for the clipboard manager in combination with microsoft apps

Are you using the BTT clipboard manager?

5

I don't really use the BTT clipboard manager, but I didn't found a way to "disable" it either.

6

as soon as you delete all triggers that have the show clipboard manager action assigned, it will be disabled (maybe restart BTT to make sure)

Yes it works fine with the clipboard manager now disabled. Thank you !
