    SOLUTION!

    Locate the clopboard icon, usually at the bottom left corner. Right click on the icon and select “Stop collecting”. That will disable office 365 clipboard.

    You are welcome :)

    It only changes how this freaking Office Clipboard is displayed.
    It DOE NOT disable or change its pathological behavior.

    Similar problem as Tom Craig’s. Since I went to Office 2016 anything I copy once from Outlook or MSWord appears on clipboard multiple times. I need to turn the clipboard OFF. I use Spartan and this glitch keeps chewing up the clipboard and my time to clear it.

    . It keeps clipping from Outlook email all the time, without my knowing. Then I am faced with the message, “you have a full clipboard, do you want to copy it” or something like that.

    This is in outlook 2016. Can’t find anything how to fix this. Help
