Key combination Ctrl + C no longer works
With just a few targeted clicks, you can ensure that the key combination works again.
- It is very likely that you have not started the folder service. Without this, you cannot use the key combination for copying and pasting.
- Either you have inadvertently deactivated the service, it has been deactivated by a software installation, or the service has been deactivated for the "network DDE".
- Open the control panel.
- Select "Administration" and finally "Computer Management".
- In the "Computer Management" area you can go to "Network DDE Service" under "Services and Applications".
- Under "Properties", make sure that the start type for the folder is set to "automatic". Then the button function should work again.
