Microsoft has just released theWindows 10 build 21318 for Insiders in the Dev channel, which comes with a single new feature related to Clipboard History. After installing this build, a subset of Dev Channel Insiders will be see a new “Paste as plain text” option in Clipboard History, alongside the pin and delete options.

What this new action does is pasting text in the clipboard without its original formatting, so the text won’t appear with a weird font, color or size when pasted in the destination document. This is a welcome addition, and the Windows Insider team will ship it to the rest of Dev Channel Insiders once potential issues have been addressed.

The build 21318 also introduces minor improvements for Magnifier and the notification that appears when pairing Bluetooth supported devices. Additionally, the touch keyboard improvements that previously shipped to select Insiders with the build 21301 will now be available for all Dev Channel Insiders who install today’s build 21318.

You can find the full list of changes, bug fixes, and known issues for this build below:

That’s for the Dev Channel this week, and in case you missed it, we remind you that Microsoft released thefirst 21H1 build for “seekers” in the Beta Channelon Wednesday. As expected, 21H1 is a minor update that brings multi-camera support for Windows Hello, as well as performance improvements for Windows Defender Application Guard. The update will be generally available later this Spring, and we hope the Windows Insider team will soon have its hands free to share more details about the 21H2 update coming in the second half of 2021.
