Can’t right click and paste in excel
Furthermore, I wish you much success with Excel.
Hi I am having a similar issue to this, i have done what you said but also had to do it for rows and columns also but i still cannot copy the contents of a cell if highlighted the contents? If i select any data from a cell i cannot get any functions come up from right clicking. only if i ctrl + c then ctrl + v can i copy and paste

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.
- Daveross81Jul 27, 2023Copper ContributorI’ve found a fix. In users\”user name”\appdata\roaming\microsoft\excel delete the excel15.xlb file and if present the XLSTART file reopen excel. It then works perfectly again

Thanks for this Dave. I have deleted both of those in that users \appdata\roaming\microsoft\excel folder and will see when he is back if that is restored. Thanks for your help.....!
- Tobie64Jul 27, 2023Copper ContributorCan I also just add..... This only happens when that users uses Excel. It does not happen when he uses Word or Outlook.
