Make sure to save any open work before closing any apps. Look at any running apps that aren’t system related and close them if you don’t absolutely need them. If you don’t see many windows open, open Task Manager ( Win + X and select “Task Manager”). If copy and paste was working normally earlier during your session, try closing some open programs to see if it helps. The more things you have open, the more conflicts you may encounter with simple functions. Occasionally, power users may run into a copy and paste glitch if they have too many programs/apps open at once. If you have Virtualbox on your PC to help you run a virtual machine, consider that some of its features may interfere with the system, such as the “Shared Clipboard.” To fix the problem, disable this feature and try the copy-and-paste function again. If these options don’t work, then it could be a hardware issue, but don’t lose hope yet, as we have a bunch more fixes for you!ĩ. Find the relevant page for your keyboard brand, and get as up to date as you can there.

There’s Logitech Options, for Logitech keyboards, and Razer has a page full of drivers and packages for their keyboards. Many keyboards have driver packages, which can update your keyboard drivers and even firmware.That failing, right-click your keyboard in Device Manager and click “Uninstall device.” It will reinstall automatically when you unplug and plug it back in again.

Go to “Device Manager -> Keyboards,” then right-click your keyboard driver and click “Update driver,” and follow the instructions.

(It may be obvious, but it should be the first port of call alway.)
