Not able to paste any images onto Microsoft whiteboard

Hi, I'm not able to paste any images that I have copied onto a blank Microsoft Whiteboard. I haven't experienced this problem until today. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried closing the application, restarting my computer, repairing the app in settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the app etc. Only appears to not work in this application as I can still paste images on other apps e.g. Word.

    Pasting and inserting external images suddenly are not working for me again, every time I paste or insert an image it goes to "Something went wrong an error occurred while processing your request" and boots me out.

    It works if I'm copy and pasting from the current whiteboard, but not if I'm pasting a screen shot of another page etc

    Thank you for notifying us - the paste function does work.

    However, the other two issues still persist.

    a) a significant lag when you write

    b) the undo button is still finicky

    Is anyone experiencing the same?

    I am using the free version of ziteboard for now, while waiting for MS to solve this.

    It does not have a lot of tools, but it is better than working without copy and paste.

    Thank you all so much for your replies, and particularly for the original question. I've also been encountering this issue, and the onset of it was also exactly yesterday. Had I not found this thread, I'd have uninstalled, hoping that a reinstallation would be clean and sort the problem. You've saved all my boards! Thank you!

    I paste mainly images into my whiteboards. I've been working around this glitch by saving images and then inserting the image files. This still works, but it's not as efficient as pasting in from the clipboard, and doesn't help if you want to paste text in, either.

    Thank you again for sharing your experiences publicly. Resetting hadn't worked. I was on the verge of uninstalling, and would have, if not for all of you.
