Copy And Paste Commands Do Not Work

 

Copy and paste commands are two of the most common operations we make on computer. It is not exaggerate to say that we use these two commands every day. There are too many cases that we will need to copy and paste something. For example, when we want to store some information from webpage, the most usual way we would use is highlighting the information and pressing Ctrl+C at the same time, which is what we call Copy. And then we will open a word document or text file, right click and paste the information onto the file.

 

Copy and Paste commands are very important for the efficiency of works. Especially when it comes to pictures editing, using copy and paste will save your time to store the pictures on computer first and then import the pictures from the folder to any program.

 

What if suddenly you can’t copy and paste anything on your computer? The most frustrated thing is, you will not be able to store anything from webpage. This can cause great trouble if you have any urgent paper work to be done. The issue will also low down the efficiency of your other works which need copy and paste to improve the speed.

 

How about the cause of such issue? The reason is not clear unless we do a troubleshoot. There are some possible reasons: IE error, third party programme influence, registry errors, etc.

 

1st: IE errors

According to Microsoft, one of the possible causes is Internet Explorer error. Because My Computer and Windows Explorer use Internet Explorer, if Internet Explorer is damaged, some of the functionality of these tools may be lost.

To resolve this problem, use the following steps.

• Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
• Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
• In the Add/Remove Programs dialog box, click Microsoft Internet Explorer, and then click Change/Remove.
• In the Internet Explorer and Internet Tools dialog box, click Repair Internet Explorer, and then click OK.

 

2nd: Third party programme influence

Some third party programmes, for example, Advanced System Care, have a function of disabling clipboard, which means that, the information and data you copy will not be stored in the clipboard. Thus, you will not be able to paste because there is no data being kept.

The solution for this case is easy. Just open the programme, find the option of disabling clipboard, uncheck it and apply the change. You will find that your problem is solved so quickly.

 

3rd, registry errors.

If above two solutions are not able to fix the error, the cause may be deeper, perhaps one or multiple registry errors. To solve the issue, I will suggest you download and install an advanced registry cleaner to resolve the copy and paste error. Any delay will lead to unimaginable more serious issues. Remember, 90% of the computer problems are caused by registry issues. So it is always recommended that you install a advanced registry tool to consistantly protect your system.
