FACT.

Does anyone here know why it's unreliable?

    It wasn't always like this.

    I swear every version of Windows between 3.11 and XP was 100% reliable. Then it just started... slipping.

    What's weird is that it often works on the second try.

    Because your company makes you use Azure Virtual Desktop to connect to a VM and AVD's clipboard handling is as unreliable as anything else from Microsoft?

    That's a sensible theory for when this happens at work (it's Citrix in my case).

    I'd swear it happens at home on Windows 10 as well, though. Maybe I am pressing it wrong sometimes. Either way, the meme is spot on for me.

    I have to connect to remote PC then from that connect to another remote PC then from that connect to another remote PC and then finally log in. I have to enter the same password like six times. It's a miracle anything syncs across that mess

    In my case it's mostly that browsers and as such also electron Apps unfocus textboxes when the window is unfocused for seemingly no reason, sometimes without giving visual indication meaning that I need to reselect it to copy it.

    Probably just because you typed C + Ctrl by accident.

    Nah that's not at all how that hand movement works. It's always rest on Ctrl and then find C for me. It would also type "C" over the highlighted text, which would be very noticeable.

    Because copy and paste started bring over formatting.

    If you do control shift V, it removes it and is much more reliable.

    No that's not what I mean (plus it doesn't work most of the time, either). It's the copying that often fails for me, which I only notice when I paste and realize "wait a minute, these are the previous contents of the clipboard."
