Windows 10: Copy/Paste not working in File Explorer Photo viewer

Hello all,I am running Windows 11 home and have installed all updates as of 28-Jun-2023. I am going through photos to select which ones I want to pull out to edit. Normally, I do this by going through photos in the photo viewer and when I come across a photo I want to pull out, I Ctrl+C, go to my separate folder for edits, and Ctrl+V in that new folder. I have used this method many times on this current PC with no trouble whatsoever. However, today it is malfunctioning. Copy and paste is working fine overall; I can copy/paste text without issue and can do the same with photos, except in one,

Copy and Paste isn't working from any photo viewer

When browsing images in a photo viewer such as the Photos App or One Photo Viewer, I no longer have the ability to copy images directly from the photo viewer and paste them into a folder. When using the Photos app, when I copy an image the "Copied to Clipboard" dialog still appears, but when I go to paste the image there is no paste option and ctrl+v does not do anything. As I said I have tried with other photo viewers and it still does not work. Up until a couple of weeks ago I was always able to do this and copied images using the Photos app on a regular basis. Any idea why this won't work anymore?

Also, when viewing a folder of images, I am able to copy them and paste them into other folders. It is just when using a photo viewer that it no longer works. I am running Windows 11 Home on an HP Spectre.

 

Windows Explorer Copy and Paste problems

Hi,

The copy/paste problem could be due to Windows Explorer issue or faulty keyboard.

Wewould like to know some information to better isolate the problem:

• Is the issue also happening when trying to copy/paste any Office files, or is it only happening in Windows Explorer?
• Have you tried other ways like; right-click + Copy, then right-click + Paste?
  
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We will wait for your reply.

 

How to get rid of raw file support in windows photo viewer?




I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.
