Copy Bug

Question

I am experiencing a copy bug when using Adobe Illustrator.  It randomly does not copy to the clip board.  It is not a keyboard issue as it occurs with Actions and Menu and Keyboard shortcuts.  I am limited as I am not an administrator level on my work computer.  I have been dealing with this for atleast a year and it is becoming extremely frustrating.  Another application on my computer might be affecting it but I need to use the ones that I have.  Any suggestions? Windows 10 operating System.  Adobe Illustrator 28.1.

These are the apps that have been identified to interfere with Copy and Paste.

Parallels Toolbox running with the Clipboard History
TeamVewer Clipboard > Use Shared Clipboard
Apple iOS device simulator from Xcode
Windows Multi-clipboard
Windows Clipboard History
Chrome Remote Desktop
Mouse Pointer Highlighter
AnyViewer
Pastebot app
Overzealous antivirus (Digital Guardian) as well as viruses that empty the clipboard
Vector Magic

If you have one of them and can figure out that it actually is the culprit for you as well and cannot configure it or uninstall, then actually you are stuck. You can notify the developer and hope that they care.
