OK - none of your "easy" suggestions worked - I did not use your link about clearing the clipboard - if a site refuses to let me look unless I unset my adblocker then I am not interested!.
But I found lots of other ways to clear the clipboard - just created a simple Notepad file and typed a few characters and copy/pasted them. also used the command line - but still no joy.
Killed all instances of explorer from Task Manager and restarted - still no joy.
I am not going down your suggestions about this installation - this was a Windows 7 machine built from the ground up by me - and upgraded to Windows 10 early on - it has what I need and nothing else.
But I have found a way to fix this (apart from rebooting) which I find quite surprising.
I go to the other PC on my desk (which is still running WIndows 7) and I "remote desktop" to my 10 machine (I actually use TeamViewer) From this "remote desktop" I copy/paste and it works.
Also having done this it somehow frees up 10 machine so I can go back and do it "locally"
weird!!!
