Hello huan_Q,

Thank you for posting on the Microsoft Community Forum.

In Windows 11, when copy-and-paste operations cause redundant glitch bars on screenshots, it could be due to a system error, or the clipboard is malfunctioning. Here are some possible steps to fix it:

1. Restart Explorer: Press the Win + X key combination, select "Task Manager", in "Task Manager", find and select "Windows Explorer", right-click and select "Restart".
2. Clear the clipboard: Try to empty the clipboard before copying and pasting the image. You can open a command prompt and enter the following command: echo off | clip.
3. Check for system updates: Make sure your system has the latest Windows updates installed, sometimes updates may fix this type of issue.
4. Use the built-in screenshot function: try to use Win + Shift + S shortcut keys to take a screenshot of the area or use Win + Print Screen to take a full-screen screenshot (the screenshot will be saved to the clipboard and can be pasted directly).
5. Disable potentially conflicting apps: Temporarily disable third-party apps that may conflict with the screenshot feature and see if the problem disappears.

I hope you the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.
