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.

    Yes, I beg your pardon, you were right. I meant 2207 (I had the previous 2206 version, and once the software was updated, everything seems to be working properly).

    Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2207 Build 16.0.15427.20182) 64-bit

    I'm also using the Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2207 Build 16.0.15427.20182) 64-bit but the problem still persists. Very, very annoying.

    Thanks.. @saintkilda and Ivo I, looks like I will be switching to that version.... I'm not sure if Microsoft 365 version is doing it for me. I hate paying for a subscription that claims (and which I thought far superior) has the latest and best... when the desktop version suffice.
