SUMMARY
On KDE Connect for Windows (via Microsoft Store), the process kdeconnectd (I know this because killing only that process fixes this issue) will consume every "Copy" action (one will work, the next won't)

By copy action, I mean any of:
* Ctrl+C
* Using the "Copy" function in an applications' right-click menu
* Selecting a different item in the Windows clipboard history feature

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Restart computer (at times will randomly go away, but will at least always occur after startup)
2. With something like Notepad open, copy some text into the clipboard.
3. Do this a few times (n>2)


OBSERVED RESULT
Observe that only every other copy action succeeds.

EXPECTED RESULT
kdeconnectd should not interfere with copying.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 24H2 26200.5651 (latest build on Insider Dev channel)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Something to do with clipboard sharing maybe?
