I'm not sure but it could be the clipboard. Should be deleted / cleaned.

Clear the clipboard

With the Windows update to 1809, the multiple clipboard was introduced.

This can be activated and deactivated via "Settings -> System -> Clipboard".

You can open the clipboard history with [Windows key] + [V].

There you can delete individual copied sections by clicking on the "X" in the respective box. Alternatively, you can also clear the entire history using "Delete all".

 

If that doesn't work then CDM command.

Delete clipboard by command
Press the key combination [Windows] [R].
A small window will now open. Enter the following command there: cmd / c "echo off | clip".

Click OK to confirm.

The clipboard will then be automatically emptied.

 

I would be happy to know if I could help.
