In form or report design view, cannot paste objects
Hi there! I’ve experienced a similar issue with MS Access, especially when working with custom forms—it can be super frustrating when paste suddenly stops responding. What worked for me was clearing out clipboard history (Windows + V → Clear All) and disabling clipboard syncing from Settings temporarily. Also, running Access in Safe Mode (access /safe) helped identify a conflicting plugin in my case.
If it’s tied to Office updates, sometimes just rolling back one update version helps too.

That may sound strange for Standalone units, however, if you look in in tune configuration policies you can set things that way. I had a heck of a time trying to figure out all of that stuff with InTune and gpos after the security update from Microsoft approximately 2 years ago. I had almost identical issues. My solution eventually was to update the configuration policy for Office 365 and deploy it through my hybrid aad joined machine
