Microsoft confirms that Windows 11's new update breaks copy-pasting in Excel, and there's no solution yet
The wait begins.
Microsoft has confirmed that its latest Windows 11 update is causing issues with copy-pasting in Excel. The update, known as KB5124008, was launched on September 8. According to XDA Developers, this update is also causing problems with WSL and Claude Cowork functionality due to issues with Plan9.
The update is also affecting sound on certain older USB devices, including speakers, headphones, and microphones, as reported by ZDNet. Specifically, the sound on some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices may fail, resulting in various issues. This problem is limited to devices using an older, legacy audio driver introduced in Windows 98.
Microsoft has acknowledged the issues, but there is no solution yet for the Excel copy-pasting problem. The sound issue is confined to a specific type of older USB device, and modern devices using USB Audio Class 2.0 or other connections are not affected.
