Windows 10: copy and paste suddenly stopped working in Windows 10. I had made no changes in anything.

Copy & paste suddenly stopped working after using it for centuries. Or it won't let me copy anything new & will just keep pasting the same original copy of the day after I copy a new phrase or URL link or whatever. Control + C. I have made no new updates that I am aware of.

Windows 10 copy and paste is not working. It stopped working

Thanks for the suggestion, Bree. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to help in this case. Maybe "corruption" is the wrong word for what's happening to the clipboard. Maybe "captured" - eg. by the remote session - is a more accurate way of describing what's going on. Further experimenting appears to have revealed that I'm still able to copy and paste within each remote session, but not between sessions or between a session and my physical workstation. Annoyingly, however, once it stops working I can't copy (or paste) anything at all on my physical workstation - eg. even within Notepad or Word, etc.

Windows 10 copy and paste is not working. It stopped working

Hi,

I am using Windows 10 with all the latest updates. Copy and Paste has stopped working.
I am not able to copy and paste from anywhere e.g. In Notepad highlight a line and copy it and paste it.
It will not paste anymore. In PyCharm as well, Notepad++, Word etc.

I have tried the following fix but it does not solve the problem: Open command prompt and type in %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c "echo off | clip" to clear the clipboard
I have also tried SFC scanow

Anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks, Riaz
