# `AppHVSIClipboardSettings` enum

GPO policy: "Configure Microsoft Defender Application Guard clipboard settings" under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Defender Application Guard. Controls clipboard data transfer between the Application Guard (HVSI) container and the host operating system. Registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\AppHVSI:AppHVSIClipboardSettings (REG_DWORD). Note: Microsoft Defender Application Guard is deprecated as of Windows 11 24H2. Reference: [Policy CSP - ApplicationGuard (ClipboardSettings)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/mdm/windowsdefenderapplicationguard-csp)

## Values

| Enum Value | Description |
|---|---|
| `DISABLED` | Clipboard operations completely disabled (registry value 0). No copy/paste is allowed between the Application Guard container and the host. Most secure. |
| `HOST_TO_GUARD` | Clipboard operations from host to Application Guard container only (registry value 1). Users can paste content from the host into the isolated container, but not the reverse. |
| `GUARD_TO_HOST` | Clipboard operations from Application Guard container to host only (registry value 2). Users can paste content from the isolated container to the host. Microsoft notes this direction may pose a security risk and is not recommended. |
| `BOTH` | Clipboard operations allowed in both directions (registry value 3). Both host-to-container and container-to-host clipboard operations are enabled. Least secure. |
