There can be a few reasons why Ctrl V paste is not working. One common issue is due to user permissions. If the user does not have the proper permissions set up for the file or folder from which the content needs to be pasted, then the paste will not work.

In some cases, antivirus programs or other security software can prevent the paste operation in order to protect the system. Additionally, occasionally file associations can become corrupted and they can block the paste command from functioning correctly.

Finally, if the clipboard is disabled or full, then the paste operation may also be blocked. To troubleshoot this issue, it is best to try enabling the clipboard, check user permissions, and verify file associations.

If the problem persists, then it is best to contact technical support.
