Microsoft fixed Excel 2016 copy-paste bug. Then reintroduced it. Now it's fixed again
A critical copy-paste bug in Excel affected multiple versions when users attempted to paste content into cells with no result. Microsoft patched it in mid-September, but the bug recurred in Excel 2016 following October's KB5002934 security update. Build 16.0.5574.1006 now addresses the issue tied to conditional formatting. The bug specifically affects workbooks with conditional formatting and does not impact other Office versions or Windows security updates.
