      Tried all the above to no avail. I'm running CS5 on Windows 11. 'Layers' window seems frozen. Only shows base layer but no pasted layers. Also unable to 'duplicate layer' or change 'opacity', etc. None of the layer tools are working.

      I've had no problems for last few years, now suddenly this. Really frustrating as I have an urgent job to get out.

      This is still a Photoshop elements group. You need help with CS5 (which is 14 years old) you need to post in the Photoshop ecosystem group.

      Disable "Overscroll" in the tools preference settings.

        Had the same issue. Fixed it by turning Num Lock off and on. I am not sure why this happens but y'all could try that.

            @rcleonard, you have posted in the Photoshop Elements forum, not the Photoshop CC forum.  You should repost in what is now called the Photoshop ecosystem forum.

            Same problem. I tried the same routines. Photoshop Elements just quit working properly. All of Adobe's software products are filled to the brim with glitches. I quit using their products after 10 years, swearing I'd never use them again. But here I am. Just shoot me.

              Same issue. Cleared clipboard, restarted, copy paste doesn't work, using the hotkeys or using the menu. I'm using CC not elements. Copy and paste is such a basic function, disappointing that it's glitchy.

                Try the following and let us know if this works for you:

                In Editor, go to the expert tab.

                1. Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
                2. Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
                3. Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
                4. Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
                5. Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
                6. In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.

                Thank you for responding. This what I was doing. I have done this many times in the past. I am wondering why now I am having a problem. When I paste it is blank

                  Suggest that you reset preferences to default.

                  To do that, go to Edit>Preferences>General and look for this:
