Microsoft fixed Excel 2016 copy-paste bug. Then reintroduced it. Now it's fixed again
All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again. Maybe
Microsoft has fixed and then reintroduced a bug in Excel 2016 related to copy-paste functionality. The issue first appeared in the September update and caused pasted content to remain unchanged in destination cells. Microsoft resolved the problem mid-September but the bug returned in October after users installed the security update.
The company released a new build, Excel 2016 build 16.0.5574.1006, which includes all security updates and addresses the reintroduced paste issue. However, the cause of the bug's reappearance remains unclear. Users reported the recurrence of the problem after applying the KB5002934 update, a security patch, and rolling it back only temporarily resolved the issue. Microsoft has now fixed the bug once again, but users remain frustrated by the recurring problem.
