Windows 10: Copy and Paste not working when I used SFC scan

I've used the command prompt and used the sfc/scannow command and it hasn't worked. I was searching around on the internet but I can't seem to find any solution to fix my copy and paste function except the method I've already used. It's getting really annoying when I'm trying to paste important things into documents when it becomes grey and stop completely.
