Ctrl-C doesn't always work. This is less common than the scrolling problem in my previous post, but it's not rare: Using win10 fully updated: I use Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V still inserts what as already in the clipboard. I have to go back, hold down the Ctrol key and hit repeatedly the C key. OTOH Ctrl works just fine in other contexts and C Ctrl-c and ctrl-v are not working in Word 2010 (Windows 10). However, they are working in Excel, Outlook, etc. Also, ctrl-x and ctrl-a, etc, are working in Word. I have already customized the keyboard shortcuts and added these in the home tab for editcopy and editpaste. The shortcuts are still there after restarting, but they don't work in Word. "^v" = "paste:"; "^c" = "copy:"; "^x" = "cut:"; "^z" = "undo:"; Save everything and restart your Mac. Now, you will have CTRL + x/c/v/z working like it is on a Windows machine. BE AWARE: This will overwrite whatever Apple has configured for these shortcuts. For instance CTRL + v is a standard shortcut for page down, which will not work anymore. 2. Unlock the Windows Key Lock. Depending on your keyboard type, it might have a “Win Lock” button or switch.This is a common feature for mechanical gaming keyboards to help you avoid crashing I had the same problem working with npm.But finally, I knew it was a problem with git itself. There was a comment by dscho on GitHub 15 days ago. He said that they're working to fix this problem in the next release. To reset copy and paste settings to default on Windows 10, you can follow these steps: Open the Windows Settings by pressing the Win + I keyboard shortcut. Click on “System.”. In the left sidebar, select “Clipboard.”. Under the “Clear clipboard data” section, click on the “Clear” button. Check for updates: Make sure that your Windows 11 operating system is up-to-date. Check for any pending updates and install them. Reset clipboard: Reset the clipboard by pressing the Windows key + V and then clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner of the Clipboard panel. Select "Settings" and then click on "Clear clipboard data." Right-click on the Start button and choose File Explorer. Or left-click on the Start button and choose the third icon from the bottom on the left, which opens File Explorer. Was this reply helpful?
