Can’t right click and paste in excel
To be able to reuse them, open the affected workbook in Excel and press the "Alt" and "F11" keys on your keyboard at the same time.
A new window will open, press the "Ctrl" or "Ctrl" and "G" keys.
Enter the following command in the opened window below (you can simply copy it):
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Enabled = True
Confirm with Enter and then press the "Alt" and "Q" keys to close the window.
The right mouse button should work now :).
Hope I was able to help you with this info.

I have come across that exact same issue on a user in our business and I also did what @NikolinoDE said and cannot fix it.
Ctrl + C an Ctrl +V works fine and also the Copy and Paste functions from the Ribbon itself works fine, but it does not work from RightClick. It is greyed out....
We work on a Terminal server and all users access Excel from the terminal server via their RDC logins.
This only happens with one user. Other users (including myself on my login) do not experience it.
The important thing is that it is a terminal server so the issue is with that user's profile.??...
Any help will be appreciated.
