In windows 10, there is a service called the Clipboard User Service or cbdhsvc
that manages the clipboard. In Windows 11, this service no longer exists
PS> Get-Service -DisplayName 'clip*'

The dll
and registry key both seem to still be present, but why doesn't the service exist anymore?
PS> Test-Path $env:SystemRoot\System32\cbdhsvc.dll

is from Windows 10 not Windows 11. However, in my research the name of the actual service, should have a guid on the backside of the service name, is that not the case on your system?Get-Service
output, but the problem (or I guess confusion) that I am having is that there is no output on my Windows 11 machine. I'm not sure where the guid should be if you are referring to the registry output though?
