Windows 10: Why is copying and pasting not working properly?

Hi all. I’m using Windows 10 and the Open Office software.The issue I’m having is copying and pasting from file names to a text document on open office. When I copy or cut a file name and attempt to paste it in the text document, the Paste option does not appear. I have to copy or cut it at least 2 or 3 times to get it to work, which is really frustrating.I have tried to install an older version of Open Office, but the same thing happens again.Does anyone know why this issue is happening or what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance

copy/paste function is not working

Original title : Desktop Window Manager Session Manager

I'm not sure I''m in the right area, but my copy and paste functions aren't working. I've tried the Run, OK, services.msc methods searching for the Clipboard and the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager.
Neither is listed. How can I find them and reinstall them Then hopefully my copy and paste functions will start working properly again. Thank Sabrina
