copying and pasting images from the web in Windows 10

I have an issue pasting images from the web.  Generally I'm copy and pasting from chrome into word, but I've tried other browsers as well, including Edge and IE.  I've also attempted to copy and paste images into paint, but to no effect.

When I reboot it works for a time then stops working.  It won't work until I restart the computer again.  This is  major time suck, as I often need to copy and paste images from the web.

I'm running windows 10 and using Word 2016.  

Any suggestions?  Fixes?

Give this a try, when you copy an image, click the Paste split menu under the Home tab.

Click Paste special
Choose Device Independent Bitmap

Click OK
Best,

Next time you have the problem, another alternative is to Right click on the web picture and save it to your HD. Then you can copy paste/ or insert it at your leisure.
