I recently discovered a bug in Windows File Explorer. The "Paste" option does not appear when I right-click with the mouse on a folder. All the other options like copy, cut, share, rename, and delete are there. I have also selected "show more options", but the "paste" option is still missing. I am also observing several other errors, such as the text I have written in this question cannot be copied and pasted from Word.s However, copy and paste works from OneNote and Notepad. I discovered this after updating to version KB505398 from Microsoft today. Could there be a connection?"

Hi Trond Gunnar Raa,
Use windows key and R, in the run box type winver and post back the build you are on please. KB505398 is for Windows 10 but your post states Windows 11, thanks.
This is incorrect. KB5053598 is for Windows 11 ver. 24H2, and was automatically installed on my PC from Microsoft on 3/11/25 at 9:15 PM. I have now figured out my original question about errors in File Explorer myself. Thank you very much!
