  1. Random unknown string gets copied instead of what I selected.


    The issue arises when I copy text, and occasionally, instead of pasting what I copied, a random string gets pasted.Checked my clipboard and to my surprise the clipboard also shows the random string instead of the copied one, so the problem is not with paste but with copy function.The text undergoes a transformation into random strings consistently, every time I copy data, the text is replaced by these same random strings in the exact location.I tried copying and pasting the same lines multiple times but every time it gets replaced by the same random string at the same location.- I looked at st

  2. String selection and mouse-click

    I usually use a mouse and keyboard even on Windows 10. And when editing a text, I usually do like this way:

    I - for example - select a part of a string using the mouse (- I'm right-handed -) and ,to copy the substring to the clipboard, I press Ctrl+C (- with the left hand -) immediately after selecting the substring. That is to say, I always use both of my hands
    at the same time, which is very convenient and enables me to type more smoothly.

    But Windows 10 seems to block the "string copy". It seems to me, I always have to click the mouse again to mark the end of the selection before continuing to the next step. Otherwise, I could not press Ctrl+C immediately after the string selection.

    This is very annoying to me. Can anybody help me to set the mouse-click after selection unnecessary?

    Hi Ckr,

    Based on your description, it appears that your clipboard is pasting random strings instead of the text that you have copied. One possibility is that your computer might have been infected with malware, which may be causing your clipboard to be hijacked.

    To resolve this issue, I suggest that you first check your Task Manager for any suspicious processes running in the background. You can do this by right-clicking on the Taskbar and selecting "Task Manager". Once in the Task Manager, look for any processes that seem unfamiliar or suspicious, and disable them.

    If the issue persists, I recommend running a virus scan on your computer using a reputable anti-virus software. This can help identify and remove any malware that may be causing the issue with your clipboard.

    I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue.

    Best regards,

    John D.
