IS THE KB5002914 security update EXCEL PROBLEM GOING TO BE FIXED
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.
Okay, it works, thanks! But it's not a permanent fix; we're waiting for a fix from Microsoft.
Hello
This is community forum. You are not talking to Microsoft support/product team/engineer here, so unfortunately no one here knows when it is fixed.
You can use this website for updates.
https://support.microsoft.com/servicing/office/hotfix/excel/5002914
At the same time, you can use the command to roll back to the last working version.
Assuming you are using LTSC/Standard/Pro Plus commercial license, please type cmd in the search on the taskbar. Don't press enter key yet. Instead, choose "run as administrator" to launch Command Prompt.
Then run this command. Make sure you copy the entire command, including the quotation mark at the beginning of the command.

The command is to remove the latest update, which is causing this issue.

I tried this command and Copy and paste was working. Next day same problem occur. Again I use the command, but next day same problem. Not a permanent solution.
@Dr. Muhammad Nazir Awan In Excel, go to Files > Account > Update options, and choose Disable Updates for now.
When Microsoft rolls out a permanent update to fix this, you can then re-enable updates. The command is not meant as a solution but as a workaround while waiting for Microsoft to release fixes.
