Hi @Vivek36864849w87a,

 

Thanks again for your update. Could you please confirm which version of Illustrator you're currently using, along with the details of your Windows OS? Also, does this issue occur only with specific types of objects or files, or does it seem to happen randomly?

When you get a chance, try clearing your Windows clipboard by pressing Windows + V and clicking 'Clear all,' or disabling clipboard history via Windows Settings > System > Clipboard. If you have any clipboard-related apps or plugins running in the background, try closing them temporarily and see if the issue still happens.

You can also isolate if any background process is interfering by testing the same steps in safe mode using this link: https://adobe.ly/4oifMpd

 

Let me know how it goes!

Abhishek

*I just cut 5-6 rectangles which I created in Illustrator. Selection tool
is active, I just drag with the selection tool and select the items and
press Ctrl+X but Ctrl+V not working and in menu bar PASTE option is not
active also. This problem does not happen every time but frequently it
happens. I didn't select any other tool.*
