I'm sorry, but that doesn't make much sense as written. What does "without pin coped text" mean? "It not work" tells us nothing: what does it do that you didn't expect, or not do that you did? How did you test what it did?

It might be that you want to write this question in your native language and then use Google Translate to get an English version, as I suspect you are using the wrong words and that throwing the text off - "coped" is almost certainly "copied" and "reequipment" is probably "requirement", but "pin copy" means nothing!

That PowerShell command does not "clear the clipboard". It's stopping and restarting the clipboard user service. That's a little extreme for "clearing the clipboard" because it impacts the clipboard system-wide.

If you want to "clear" the clipboard, what's wrong with just putting an empty string on it?

Randomly clearing the clipboard is a great way to get your application blocked as "malware"!

I suspect this is actually an XY problem[^] - you're asking for help to implement the solution you think you need, rather than help solving the actual problem.

If you're writing code which (ab)uses the clipboard to transfer sensitive data, and you're trying to avoid having that data stored in the Windows 10+ clipboard history / roaming clipboard, you'll need to call Clipboard.SetContentWithOptions[^] to copy the data, rather than simply using the Clipboard class.

It's a WinRT method, so it's not particularly simple to call from an unpackaged .NET Framework app. But with a little reflection, it's doable:

If that's not what you're doing, then you're going to need to provide a clearer explanation of the problem.
