Excel Pasting Bug Fixed, But Not For All
21 Sep
Summary
- A recent update caused a bug affecting Excel pasting.
- Microsoft released a hotfix for Excel 2016, but issues may persist.
- A workaround involves using the 'Paste Special' option.
A security update released on September 8, 2026, introduced a critical bug causing silent failures in paste operations across several Microsoft Excel versions. This issue prevented content from being pasted, with no error message or sound to alert users.
While Microsoft has issued a hotfix for Excel 2016 and confirmed fixes for Office LTSC 2021 and 2024, a mitigation is available for Office LTSC 2019 and Office 2016. Users experiencing problems are advised to use the 'Paste Special' option as a temporary workaround while a full solution is developed.
