Beep or make a sound upon Cut, Copy, Paste

Try this:

Put it in a file with the ahk extension (e.g. ClipBeep.ahk) and double-click it. Whenever you press Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V it will sound a short beep. Exit the script (right-click on the "H" icon that appears in your notification area at the bottom-right of the screen and select "Exit") to make it stop.

If you want this to always be in effect, I suggest you set it to run at startup.

 

Ctrl+C/V (to Copy or Paste) not working in NotePad, all Office programs, IE/Chrome in my Windows 10 Professional (10.0.16299.19)

• No reactions when I pressed "Ctrl+C" (to Copy) or "Ctrl+V" (to Paste) in NotePad, all Office programs (Words, Excel, etc.), IE/Chrome in my Windows 10 Professional (10.0.16299.19) using my Lenovo ThinkPad (I have to right mouse click to Copy/Paste), but
  it is working fine in my Windows 10 Home (10.0.15063.674) using my Dell Inspiron 3437.
• However I can still use "Ctrl+Z" (to reverse), "Ctrl+A" (select all), etc.
  in Windows 10 Pro.
• It is, neverthelss, possible to use "Ctrl+C/V" in File Explorer to duplicate a file or to rename a filename in Windows 10 Pro.
• I have already tried, as per some users' advice, doing Device Manager>Keyboards>Drivers>Update Drivers (or Uninstall Device) and restart PC but the "Ctrl+C/V" still does not work in Windows 10 Pro.
• Someone in another thread discussion alerted that you now have to include "Shift", i.e. "Ctrl+Shift+C" or "Ctrl+Shift+V" to Copy or Paste, and I realised it worked in Windows 10 Pro. Nonetheless, I would rather use right mouse click to Copy/Paste if I
  have to hold the additional "Shift" key.
• Can Microsoft please advise how to change the keyboard command back to simply "Ctrl+C" or "Ctrl+V" to Copy or Paste to be used for all applications in Windows 10 Pro?
