Copy/Paste not working

I just updated to the latest beta and now I am not able to paste content using the mouse or CTRL-V. Copy seems to work, but not paste. I tested by pasting to desktop, which works, I then have to drag onto XY to actually copy the files. Is this just my end, or a bug in XY?
Thanks...

EDIT: I just noticed that XY loses focus on clicking Paste, and there is a message in the status bar:

EDIT2: Same happens when trying to delete an item, drag and drop onto tabs, checking other ways too.

You are copying/pasting files? I don't see any problem there.

I just restarted my PC just in case, updated to 28.30.1000 from 902, issue remains:

You are using the shell context menu for copy/paste. Wow. Then you probably have that recent Windows 11 update (KB5094126) that destroyed shell context menu functionality.

No idea what you mean? Can you explain please. :tup:
Btw, it makes no difference how I copy/paste, same result every time.

Other users also reported shell context menu issues with KB5094126. At the moment there is nothing I can do about it.

Is there nothing I can do about it? I would like to set up an XY context menu, but have no idea how to do it!
I suppose thats the reason you said Wow?

I tested a fresh install of XY and it works fine, using the XY own copier I assume?

Btw, copy/paste was working until now and I updated windows days ago. Only thing that changed was XY updated. Also, works in Q-Dir. As copy/paste works in XY fresh install but not in my install, stands to reason this is an XY issue. I have set my current install to use built in context menu and still doesnt work, yet fresh install does work.

Just downgraded to v28.30.901 and copy/paste now works. Upgraded again, doesnt work, so there is something in that update causing the issue.

Task manager shows a lot of the XYcopy running:

Perhaps thats where the problem lies?

I had problems after updating to v28.30.1000 an hour ago. Copy, delete functions didn't work. Task manager showed a lot of the XYcopy running.
I had to downgrade back to v28.30.0900.
