Excel 2016 gets a targeted fix for copy-paste after KB5002914

Microsoft rolled out a fix (KB5002665) to address the copy-paste failure in Excel 2016 caused by the September 2026 KB5002914 update. The patch mitigates the issue only for MSI-based Office 2016, with Click-to-Run editions unaffected for now. Other Excel versions may receive fixes separately. Until a universal solution lands, users can use Paste Special (Home > Paste > Paste Special or Ctrl+Alt+V) or uninstall KB5002914 to regain functionality, though uninstalling removes other security patches. The problem produced silent paste failures and was discussed on Microsoft Q&A and Reddit.

Microsoft’s Excel security patch breaks copy-paste across versions, with no quick fix yet

Microsoft confirms a bug in the September 2026 Excel security update KB5002914 that silently breaks copy-paste across Excel 2016–2024, with Microsoft investigating and no official fix yet. Workarounds include Paste Special, using Word as an intermediary, the Office Clipboard, or rolling back the update (not advised due to 29 security fixes). The issue is widespread across supported Excel versions and comes amid broader Windows 11 update problems.

Apple Plans EU-First Cross-Device Clipboard Between iPhone and Windows

Apple is planning a cross-device clipboard feature that would let iPhone content be pasted into Windows PCs (and vice versa) in the EU after Microsoft pushed for interoperability under the EU DMA. The system would require a one-time consent to share the iPhone pasteboard with a paired Windows PC and would use a workflow similar to AccessoryNotifications/AccessorySetupKit. Current clipboard access on iOS requires the app to be in the foreground, and Apple expects the engineering work to be completed by fall 2027 with a developer beta first and public release potentially in late 2027 or early 2028, likely EU-first and possibly worldwide later.
