Please there is a bug in your recent general windows update causing Excel data not to copy and paste.

My IT support went in and found you have ackonwledged this issue last week.

But please are you implementing a fix for it quickly ? It is really holding up my research work.

In fact my IT support person did uninstall a part of the update so Excel worked yesterday, but your system must have detected it and re-installed the problem overnight., as it has reappeared today wich is a Saturday so no help available.

Please please can you address this issue quickly ?

Many thanks

    The Paste problem and Autofill problem is widely reported in Excel as being caused by the latest Office update (KB5002914).

    What is the exact version of Office installed on your PC, is that Office 2016, 2019, 2021, 2024 or a Microsoft 365 subscription.
