    Ever had something in the Windows clipboard and then you copy over it and realize that the former clip that you needed is overwritten? You can get it back! Press Win+V and you can find it. (I think a setting has to be enabled but my laptop had it configured correctly by default.)

    It will give you the option to set up if it is not already. Great tip Yawner
