Windows 10: cannot copy/paste images from any browser

I'd be grateful for any help. Windows 10 recently went wierd on me - it stopped doing a full copy paste from any web browser. I usually do my copy/paste over to an MS Word file and about 2 weeks ago all it copied was the text, no images? Odd?
I use two methods to copy and paste, either right-click functions or Control/C or V. If I try to copy paste from a Word doc over to another Word doc then everything copies over fine, both text and images, but when I do the exact same from a browser to a Word doc only the text gets copied, and an empty image placeholder appears when I click where the image should be. I've tried various browser but still the same problem. Thanks for any help.

Be careful first of all what pictures you paste from the internet because of copy infringement.

That being said from you browser make sure to right click the image and save image first. Doing just a copy and paste of the image from browser straight to PowerPoint rarely works properly.

Try that and let me know how you make out.

 

copying and pasting images from the web in Windows 10

I have an issue pasting images from the web. Generally I'm copy and pasting from chrome into word, but I've tried other browsers as well, including Edge and IE. I've also attempted to copy and paste images into paint, but to no effect.

When I reboot it works for a time then stops working. It won't work until I restart the computer again. This is major time suck, as I often need to copy and paste images from the web.

I'm running windows 10 and using Word 2016.

Any suggestions? Fixes?

Have a look in your Word options on the advanced tab and check your cut and paste options. You may have the "Pasting from other programs" set to Text only.
