Different reports indicate that it first cropped up in Excel 2013, but most experienced it beginning with Excel 2016. It also appears that this problem has been around for quite some time and that Microsoft has been playing whack-a-mole trying to track it down and fix it. (I did a search for "there's a problem with the clipboard, but you can still paste"-with the quote marks-and found lots of discussion about the issue.)
You can find through a search of the Web that this problem has affected many users. The message is apparently caused if you try to use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, the Format Painter tool, or a drag-and-drop operation and Excel detects that the Clipboard is locked by a non-Office application or, in some cases, simply accessed a non-Office application. Even though it seems informational, it still slows down the use of Excel. As noted in the error message, if you can still paste the contents of the Clipboard, then the message is nothing but purely informational (as it doesn't really impede Excel). This is an odd little error message that, it seems, doesn't have a lot of purpose in Excel. When Rod is working with Excel, he sometimes receives an error message stating "There's a problem with the clipboard, but you can still paste this content within this workbook." He wonders what causes this message and how he can get rid of it.
