Paste not working in Excel

Hi!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To narrow down the case you need to do a test using Excel via Safe Mode. Close Excel completely. Press Windows + R.

Type:

excel /safe

press enter. Once you press enter Excel should load up. Create a new workbook/file and try to copy and paste there.

Let me know once you completed the test.

Dear Mandar Nalawade,

Good day! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

Based on your description, I understand that you unable to paste value in Excel after updating windows.

To understand the situation better and provide you with the most suitable support, could you confirm the following information:

• Are all users affected after updating Windows, or only specific users?
• Do applications other than Excel experience issues? For example, pasting into web browsers/Office Web, Notepad, and other Office desktop applications?
• Which versions of Windows are you using? Which version did you just update to?
• Have you tried reinstalling the Excel application?
• Have you tried running Excel in Safe Mode? Close the application completely, press the Windows + R keys, then type 'excel /safe' and press Enter. Once Excel opens, create a new file and test again.

In the meantime, I suggest you refer the following article to go back to the previous version of Windows to check if the issue persists. If the problem is resolved, you can then proceed to roll it out to other devices without affecting daily operations.

Kindly let me know when there are updates or if you need further assistance. Any updates you’re able to share would be really helpful. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing how things are going! 

Thank you for your time and patience.
