I Used to copy text with links. But now when I try, it copies only text, not the link.

So Far Tried

(i) Different browser (edge, mozila and chrome)

(ii) Disable all extension

(iii) Tried in incognito mode

(iv) No antivirus, did full scan for viruses (No threats found)

(v) Cleared all browser cookies

Seems like everyone else is working. So, definitely problem on my end. But Couldn't figure it out the problem. Its not the browser. Tried on edge and mozila all same. (Even tried "Share, copy and paste" on/off didnt work) It was good a week ago. Maybe 10th January i worked, it was fine.

    I am doing it for last 6 years without problem

    Even one of your browser, Microsoft edge has a feature about it.

    But even that thing enabled its not working. I dont know what happen in January 11 i couldn't do it. Its surely windows problem. I couldnt system restore because i didn't had a restore point. It works on my desktop not in this device.

    Where do you want to paste the link? If it's an application I'm familiar with I'll show you how it's done.

    For example, if you want to paste a working link in Microsoft Word, first you paste the text of the link, then you highlight the text and assign a link.

    Do you mean that you want to copy text that appears in a web page? You can't do that by copying and pasting the URL. You have to copy and paste the text itself.

    If you want to copy and paste the link, then copy and paste the link.

    If you want to copy and paste the text, then copy and paste the text.

    However, copying and pasting one doesn't copy and paste the other.

    Anywhere in the browser, it doesnt work.

    Even I am trying to copy paste hyperlink here, not working. For example I am trying to copy from this link:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-the-latest-windows-update-7d20e88c-0568-483a-37bc-c3885390d212 and want to paste it here)

    If version 22H2 isn't offered automatically through Check for updates, you can get it manually through the Windows Update Assistant.

    If you run into problems updating your device, including problems with previous major updates, see common fixes at Troubleshoot problems updating Windows.

    If you're warned by Windows Update that you don't have enough space on your device to install the update, see Free up space for Windows updates.

    If you experience internet connection issues while updating your device, see Fix Wi-Fi connection issues in Windows.

    See its just text, no hyperlink showing.
