Excel
Hi there, A little help required on Cltr key error in Excel. Everytime I press Cltr key, excel automatically puts today's date in the cell due to which I am not able to copy or paste anything...

Even after changing them as text, the moment I try to copy it by using CLTR+C as soon as I press Cltr key, the date appears in the cell

Maybe the regional settings are wrong, otherwise I can't imagine anything else at the moment.
Change the Windows regional settings to modify the appearance of some data types
If you are already in Safe Mode (as Mr. Hans Vogelaar recommended), you could also update and/or repair Excel.

Thank you everyone who suggested solutions 👍
