I've been using Win+V for a long time with PureText.

My Windows version is 1809 (OS Build 17763.439)

Now all of a sudden windows has stolen the shortcut for its own clipboard history. Window shows a popup proposing to enable its (presumably) new feature - Clipboard History.

How do I disable it do get PureText working again?

See this answer.

Basically create a registry key named DisabledHotkeys in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced and specify the list of letter keys whose combinations with the Win key you'd like to disable, just "V" in this case.

It did work for Win+V but didn't work for Ctrl+Win+Q when I specified "VQ".

A reboot may be required to apply changes

I had the same issue. The registry hacks didn't work. I upgraded my PureText app from v3.0 to the latest v6.2. It now has an "Experimental" mode under Advanced options that manages the Windows-V clipboard pop up. Seems to be working fine for me so far!

According to Microsoft's documentation of Windows Keyboard Shortcuts, this can be turned off by selecting Start > Settings > System > Clipboard, and turn off the toggle under Clipboard history.
