To enable a shared clipboard between host and guest when using the console, e.g. via virt-manager you need to install the SPICE agent:

        {
            "type": "powershell",
            "inline":
            [
                "$ErrorActionPreference = 'stop'",
                "# Install SPICE agent for shared clipboard",
                "(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/vdagent/vdagent-win-0.10.0/spice-vdagent-x64-0.10.0.msi', 'spice-vdagent.msi')",
                "Start-Process -FilePath msiexec -ArgumentList '/i spice-vdagent.msi /qn /norestart' -NoNewWindow -Wait",
                "Remove-Item spice-vdagent.msi"
            ]
        },

If you prefer to use the Git for Windows Bash implementation for the Windows-side shell for SSH you can enable it like so:

        {
            "type": "powershell",
            "inline":
            [
                "$ErrorActionPreference = 'stop'",
                "# Install Chocolatey package manager",
                "Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))",
                "# Install git",
                "choco install git -y"
                "# Set bash as OpenSSH shell (as last step, in order not to interfere with powershell provisioners above)",
                "Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\\OpenSSH -Name DefaultShell -Value 'C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe' -Force"
            ]
        }
