We could not copy the content to the Clipboard, it is in use by another application. You can still paste your content within this workbook but it will not be available in other applications.

Win 10 version 21H2 Build 19044.1706

Excel 2016 Version 2204 Build 15128.20224

This problem occurs randomly and with only a few cells being copied. The spreadsheet locks up and the only way out is Save>Close and open the book again. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to close Excel completely.

Sometimes the top ribbon completely greys out and I can't do anything.

This is becoming a significant problem.

    Thank you Neil Pearson1 on another thread for finding the actual answer! Although some Microsoft guy marked his own nonsense as the answer naturally.

    I'm not even trying to use the clipboard and it's doing this. It's a major PITA.

    That's fine if you're on Win 11. What about Win 10?

    Hi there guys.

    This issue seems to have been sorted out by Microsoft, applying the latest updates. At least, it works well for me.

    I have not changed the previous setup. Is it working for you guys?

    Regards.
