This has been happening for 6 months, you would think that a patch of Win11 or Access would address the issue at some point

The Windows team does have a fix for this issue, but it has not been delivered to a public release yet. Have you tried turning all the options mentioned here: Access gets slow or freezes on Win11 when you copy records (accessforever.org) ?

I'd specifically suggest turning off Use suggested actions on your PC - Microsoft Support, as potentially the least intrusive workaround.

Running as administrator did not work on my computer, but when I followed PackerGuy suggestion "Go to the settings > clipboard and turn off "Suggested Actions" it worked for me and another coworker.
Thanks PackerGuy
