How do I use VBScript to display the Win 10 clipboard (Win key + V) ?

Sadly, this isn't really feasible in raw VbScript. You will see 'solutions' that suggest you can doo it with Sendkeys (essentially sending CTL-ESC-V' where CTL-ESC is the Windows key. Sadly this does not work, the V is ignored)
AutoHotKey does provide a Windows key capability, or you need to use a language that can make API calls, and look at keybd_event API
For example, in VBA something like the following would work:

Code:
[COLOR=blue]Option Explicit
Public Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" (ByVal bVk As Byte, ByVal bScan As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)
Public Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2
Public Const KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY = 1
Public Const LWin = 91
public Sub ShowClipboard()
KeyDown LWin
KeyDown Asc("V")
KeyUp LWin
KeyUp Asc("V")
End Sub
Private Sub KeyDown(vKey As Byte)
keybd_event vKey, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY, 0
End Sub
Private Sub KeyUp(vKey As Byte)
keybd_event vKey, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY Or KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0
End Sub[/color]- Thread starter
