Excel 2016 copy/paste issue is back after KB5002934 update
Is anyone else experiencing copy/paste issues in Excel 2016 after the KB5002934 update? We're seeing this issue on workstations across our organisation. What's frustrating is that this is the same issue we encountered before, which was supposedly fixed in a previous update. Now it's back, barely a few weeks later. For now, we're using an uninstall script to temporarily remove the update from affected workstations. However, this isn't a reliable long-term solution because Windows Update will push the update again. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Has Microsoft provided any explanation for why this issue keeps coming back? Has anyone found a more permanent solution that doesn't involve repeatedly uninstalling the update? I'd like to know if other organisations are dealing with this and how they're handling it.
Can't edit cells in Excel 2010 since Sept 2026 patch Tuesday
I can't edit cells in Excel 2010 spreadsheets since Sept 2026 patch Tuesday. How do I reverse this back to the former working software. There was one comment that said it might be caused by a Windows 10 security update. Since Windows 10 isn't supposed to get security updates anymore, how can that be an issue? Ron

Dear Microsoft Team, We have been experiencing a copy-paste issue in Microsoft Excel since 14 October 2026, following the installation of Windows Security Update KB5127648 and Microsoft Excel 2016 Security Update KB5002934. The issue is specific to Sheet1 in the affected Excel workbook. The observed behavior is as follows: Copying any cell from Sheet2 and pasting it into Sheet1 works correctly. Copying any cell from Sheet1 and pasting it into another sheet or even within the same sheet does not work. No action is performed, and no error message is displayed. Copying content from Sheet1 and pasting it into Notepad works correctly. Copying text or content from Notepad and pasting it into Sheet1 also works correctly. Based on these observations, the issue appears to be specific to copying cells from Sheet1 rather than a general clipboard malfunction. Kindly investigate this issue and advise on a permanent resolution, as it started after the installation of the aforementioned security updates.Vlookup to multiple columns
Hello! I was wondering if there was a formula to do a vlookup referencing 2 different columns? In the below example I have 2 tabs of data; on tab 1 I want to do a vlookup based off of column C however on Tab 2 the "month" can be found in either column G or H. Is there a formula that says vlookup column c and look to column G and H and return the result of I? Thank you!
Excel 2016 & 2019 - Conditional Formatting Affecting Pasting with Formats
As of this week, I'm having a problem with conditional formatting preventing me from pasting copied cells with any paste options that include formatting. This issue is occurring on three Win 10 and 11 computers with Excel 2016 and/or Excel 2019. For example, I can open a new excel workbook, input data into cells, format the cells and then copy and paste to new cells with the formatting pasted. But if I add conditional formatting anywhere in the sheet, I cannot paste any cell (with or without the conditional formatting) when formatting is included in the paste option is included. For, example, I can paste-values, paste-formulas, but not regular paste or paste-formatting. If I clear the conditional formatting from the sheet, the problem still exists. However, if I clear the conditional formatting from the sheet, save the file and then reopen it, the pasting of the formats gets restored. A similar issue occurred a few windows updates ago and I rolled back the update for excel and/or applied the patch KB5002914. But this is a new issue and that patch doesn't work -- the message I receive is that "The update is already installed on this system". Is this happening to anyone else? Is there a solution to fix this behavior in excel with conditional formatting? Thanks!
