  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    version 10.0.15063

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy&paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    Copy and paste is not working in any console drive app: WSL, cmd, GitBash

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    I have tried hotkeys (enabled in Properties/Quick Edit mode), With no result at all
    I have tried using the menu at the title bar, with no result.
    Copy and paste work for all other GUI apps but not in console, it does produce any result.

  • Strace of the failing command, if applicable: (If <cmd> is failing, then run strace -o strace.txt -ff <cmd>, and post the strace.txt output here)
    There is no command to run so I can't provide a strace
