Doesn't it work with Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste?

Here is an additional link:

Additional i recommend an update (OS & Office) & repair procedure, before you take any other steps.

Hope I was able to help with this info.

Hi NikolinoDE ,

it looks like it was an issue between the excel's clipboard and Windows explorer.
Initially I found a workaround by stopping the service and restarting it.
Now, after the last windows updates, it seems resolved.

Anyway, there is a big thread going on about this:

Thanks
