OneNote for Windows 10 Paste doesn't work with content cut/copied from within OneNote

Since the issue was with the OneNote for Windows product, I did uninstall that and reinstalled and the problem still persists.

I do not have the issue with OneNote 2016 from Office 365.

Is there a way to start OneNote for Windows in a "Safe" mode, as the Office products can? I didn't see a way to do that.

Thanks,

Brian

I am seeing the exact same issue.  It happens regardless of note / etc and restarting OneNote does nothing to help it.  Restarting my PC yesterday did help, but then it went right back to not working again today.

I can do the same workaround with Notepad.  It's clearly something wrong w/ OneNote for Windows10 and clipboard management.

This issue is very real, and updates do not seem to solve it. 

Copy/paste is very inconsistent with OneNote for Windows app, more so with keyboard shortcuts. 

Pasting into the UWP OneNote has been a hit or miss affair for many months for me.  It works fine for some of a day then refuses to paste or will paste something that I copied ages ago but is presumably in the clipboard history.   Closing and opening OneNote works most of the time but sometimes I have to reboot my device.

This is just one of many bugs in the UWP OneNote that never get addressed.

I've been experiencing this issue with OneNote for several months as well, but I cannot pinpoint exactly when it started. It's definitely a problem in the new version.

I'm able to copy and paste from any application to OneNote, or OneNote to any application, but I'm able to copy from OneNote to OneNote, even a single line down from where I'm working. It doesn't appear to matter what format the data is in; I've tried copying text, lists, table content.

It appears to be an issue with the "paste" function, maybe with formatting that's getting in the way? I've tried all the options for Default Paste Formatting and have experienced no difference.

Closing OneNote, killing every task related to anything OneNote in Task Manager->Details seems to solve the problem temporarily, but it's super annoying to do that every time.

Windows 10 Enterprise 1803 (OS Build 17134.829)

OneNote Version 16001.11629.20022.0

Hi,

To add some precisions, it is linked with Onenote focus. If you copy anything while Onenote is minimized, nothing will paste or It will throw an error. 

To make it work, you have to pull up Onenote application, then the other app on top of it, without maximizing, copy, then focus back in Onenote, then paste. Success!

So, this is really stupid and needs to be fixed.

Thanks,

I had an issue recently where my motherboard died on my laptop and I was given a laptop with a newer released version of Windows 10.

And guess what, no issues with OneNote and copy/pasting.

After my motherboard was replaced I checked and the version of Windows that is problematic with OneNote is

• Windows 10 Enterprise
• Version 1803
• OS Build 17134.950

I think something is corrupted in the installed OS where I occasionally get errors when I copy data that seems to be some sort of crash.

The OS that works is

• Windows 10 Enterprise
• Version 1709
• OS Build 16299.1146

I am getting my laptop reimaged in the next few days to see if a clean OS fixes the OneNote issue and some other strange issues I am having.

Experiment 1

copy from within onenote

attempt to paste in onenote -> FAIL. pasted text does not appear

go to another window, attempt to paste -> OK pasted text does appear

Experiment 2

copy from some other app

attempt to paste in onenote -> FAIL. pasted text does not appear
