    Can Not Attach a File to Email


    I composed a new e-mail and want to attach a file to send. The file will not attach. I read the instructions which I copied and attempted to paste here but that won't even work. Why is copy/cut paste not working along with not attaching files not working?

    :)

    Hi Judy,

    Please reply to the questions mentioned below in order to assist you in a better way.

    • Do you get any error message when you cannot attach the files?
    • Did you make any changes prior to the issue?
    Turning off block pop ups may help in getting the issue fixed.

    I would request you to perform the suggestions by Zach Washburn
    from the link mentioned below if you use Microsoft Edge and then check if it helps.

    Hi Mikalbe,

    Please answer these questions to assist you better.

    • How are you accessing mail e.g. Mail app or Outlook?
    • Is the issue with a particular format of attachments?
    I suggest you to try attaching a different format of file and check if you are able to attach file and send mail. Also install all pending Windows updates and check. If the issue still persists follow the steps below.

    App Troubleshooter

    I suggest you to run app troubleshooter for issues related to edge and check if it helps.
