Copy paste is not working in command prompt neither right click or keyboard shortcuts in Windows 10


Win 10 copy paste is not working in cmd from right click neither keyboard short cuts as well. Nothing happens if I try to paste some text in prompt. Reason is unknown to me. Any help?


Solution

  • Right-click on the title-bar of your cmd window. [Properties] - Options - check "QuickEdit Mode". Now when you right click, it will immediately paste. To copy, select the text you want and press enter.

    You may also want to change the defaults for future instances. Same thing, but [Defaults] instead of [Properties]
