Windows 10: Copy - Paste. More details are needed. Full file path of the copy paste action.

We need the full file path of the copy. I have been asking for this for a few years now; I can't believe no-one finds this of interest. I guess not

:)

 

Copy/Paste Function will only paste a random file path

My copy and paste function is working incorrectly. If I copy anything, it will instead paste

"C:\Users\steam\AppData\Local\Temp\PRODUCT_NAME_UNKNOWN_CrashDumpPRODUCT_VERSION_MAJOR_UNKNOWN-PRODUCT_VERSION_MINOR_UNKNOWN-2018-08-09--20-58-52_.dmp"

instead of what I had copied.

It doesn't matter if I'm copying from Word and pasting in Chrome, or notepad to Word, it will only paste this file path. On some occasion it will work correctly, but only rarely.

I went to where the file is located and there is about 51,000 of these files, and they just keep adding every second.

Even after computer restarts it will do this. How did this happen and what should I do?

Hi Sandra,

We need more information about your concern so that we can identify the cause of the copy and paste issue. Please provide the following:

• What browser are you using?
• Is this issue happening with a specific website?

We suggest trying to do the same function (Copy and Paste) using a different browser and using other website as well.

Looking forward to your response.
