Remote assist breaks excel clipboard Cheers. It's no massive deal, but had been frustrating me for some time until I understood the cause.
OS 10x64 Pro 1909 Build 18363.1082
Excel 2016 x64 MSO 16.0.12430.20172 (
Live preview disabled)
i7 8550u 32GB Asus machine
Steps to reproduce (100% reproducible on my system)
Start Excel. Invoke a clipboard transaction, succeeds.
Start Remote assist. Return to excel, invoke a clipboard transaction, pointless error message.
Stop Remote assist. Return to excel, invoke a clipboard transaction, succeeds.
Noted that other office apps (checked word/outlook) don't respond in a similar manner.
