Windows 10: Copy & paste unreliable in Windows 10

In every version of Windows 10 (and starting in Windows 8) the copy & paste functionality has been unreliable. You can never be sure that what you copy goes to the clipbook. All to often, when you paste, you will get what you previously copied. I'm using windows 10 both at home and at my workplace, and it can easily lead to serious mistakes when you copy account numbers, and such - you always have to double check to see if what you actually copied was put into the clipbook. Sometimes, you have to select and copy several times before it sticks. I haven't done any statistics on exactly how often, but it happens daily or serveral times a week. Sometimes the browser, sometimes an email, sometimes different programs.


I have during severeal years read about this on the net. With these feature updates happening twice a year, I really wish Microsoft would make it their utmost priority to do something about this. It never was an issue in Windows 7.

Copy and Paste

We would also like to know if you are experiencing this within a specific browser.

To further identify the cause of the issue, we suggest performing a clean boot to check if there are any startup programs that could be conflicting with the copy and paste function. For steps on how to perform a clean boot, click

We also suggest starting the PC in safe mode and try to copy and paste from a browser. Steps can be found

We look forward to your response.
