Information
This setting determines whether Clipboard contents can be synchronized across devices.
The recommended state for this setting is: Disabled.
Rationale:
In high security environments, clipboard data should stay local to the system and not synced across devices, as it may contain very sensitive information that must be contained locally.
Impact:
Clipboard contents will not be shareable to other devices.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Disabled:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\OS Policies\Allow Clipboard synchronization across devices
Note: This Group Policy path may not exist by default. It is provided by the Group Policy template OSPolicy.admx/adml that is included with the Microsoft Windows 10 Release 1809 & Server 2019 Administrative Templates (or newer).
Default Value:
Enabled. (Clipboard contents are allowed to be synchronized across devices logged in under the same Microsoft account or Azure AD account.)
