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

Hi all. I’m having a problem while using the Open Office software on Windows 10, but I don’t know why it’s happening or what’s causing the issue.The issue is that I am trying to copy the names of some video or picture files on my pc and then pasting them onto a text document in the Open Office software, however even though I copy or cut the file name, the Paste option does not appear straight away. It takes about 2 or 3 attempts at copying or cutting the file name before the Paste option appears.I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the Open Office software, but that hasn’t made any differen

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
