  1. copy, cut and paste not working


    No matter what I try to do, I can't manipulate folders by cut, copy and paste. It is this way on the desktop, windows explorer and all programs. So far I have reset Windows 10, did a bare metal install of windows 10, and it will still not work. This last time, right after I reset Windows 10 it worked, but once my drivers were updated I lost the capability to cut copy and paste. It's frustrating me to all ends. I've tried everything suggested so far and nothing is working. Has anybody else had this problem? What have you done to solve it?



    Thank you,


    Frustrated Windows 10 User

    copy/paste function is not working

    Hi Sabrina,



    Provide us with the information below to help you better.

    • Which build is currently running on your computer?
    • Did you make any recent software/hardware changes to your computer?
    • Is the copy/paste functioning not working fro particular application or on whole computer?
    • How are you using copy/paste option via right click or keyboard shortcuts or via edit menu within the application?
    • Is the issue specific to a file format or all the file formats?

    Suggest you to use the copy/paste using shortcuts that is Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V to copy cut and past respectively.

    Also install all the pending updates on your computer, restart your computer and check if it helps.

    Get back to us with the above information to help your further.

    Can not cut or copy and paste multiple files

    In windows 10 I can not cut or copy and paste multiple files from one location to another like I use to be able to in Windows 8. It seems to copy/cut one of the files but then stalls and never moves the other files that are selected. Any suggestions? Thanks!
