For the last few months my Copy/Paste will stop working after I've been logged-on for awhile. If I log off and back on (no Restart, though), it will start working again... for awhile, that is. It was happening on Windows 10, so I went ahead and upgraded to Windows 11, hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't.
I've looked through other postings, but most of them involve a Restart, which certainly works but so does a simple log off/log on. I generally don't log out at the end of the day, just lock it. Does anyone have a solution other than creating a whole new profile?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I assume you mean that you will be re-installing Windows 11, which may or may not fix it. Replacing hardware will likely won't fix it as it seems to be a random thing that is tied to power saving features in Windows 11. I am running an HP Elitedesk (that was originally installed with Win11) and I am sure there are 1000's sold and I seem to be one of the few that have an issue.
I am running a program called Caffeinated 1.8.0 and it has fixed the problem 100% (found at the Windows Store).
As I have responded previously, my problem stopped just as suddenly as it started, but there was NOTHING I did to "fix" it, and the issue has not reoccurred. In fact, I pretty much only have to reboot once a week or so, and that's by choice, not because something isn't working.
I am having the same issue, sound like I will need to rebuild my machine
Microsoft has been applying updates to Windows 11 to address the issue. I was working with Microsoft Level 3 for 8 months gathering information on the problem.
Just as quickly as it started, and carried over from Windows 10 to 11, it just as suddenly stopped. I no longer have to reboot every day and the copy/paste function works as intended. I'm not aware of anything I changed to "fix" it, either.
