    Please type cmd in the search on the taskbar. Don't press enter key yet. Instead, choose "run as administrator" to launch Command Prompt.

    Then run this command. Make sure you copy the entire command, including the quotation mark at the beginning of the command.

    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.17932.20910
    

    The command is to remove the latest update, which is causing this issue.

    Hi @대식 김

    Since the affected device is running Office LTSC 2024 Version 2408 (Build 17932.20996), which was released as part of the September 2026 Office updates, the issue may be related to the known Excel copy/paste issue documented in KB5002914.

    User's image

    Microsoft has confirmed a known issue affecting Excel 2016, Excel 2019, Excel 2021, and Excel 2024 following the September 2026 Excel security updates. In affected environments, the paste operation may fail silently without displaying an error message, leaving the source selection unchanged and the destination cell unmodified. This behavior is consistent with the issue you described

    Microsoft is currently investigating the issue. I recommend monitoring the following article for the latest information and any permanent resolution: Description of the security update for Excel 2016: September 8, 2026 (KB5002914)

    As a temporary workaround, your IT administrator may consider rolling Office back to an earlier, unaffected build, if permitted by your organization’s update and security policies. Since rolling back may remove recent security fixes, this should be reviewed and performed by your IT administrator.

    If you are unsure who your administrator is, please refer to: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin?

    Alternatively, you may wait for Microsoft to release an updated build containing a fix. Once an update becomes available, please install the latest Office updates, restart Excel, and test the Copy and Paste functionality again.

    I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments below. I will be happy to help.
