Windows command line - can't copy text

Question

I am trying to copy the output of a shell script to the clipboard. I right-click, select Mark, select the desired text, press Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V into a Notepad file, but there's nothing to be pasted.

What am I doing wrong? This worked until recently.

You don't have to do Ctrl + C , simply right click on selected text and it will copy to clipboard automatically.

To copy CMD line text to the clip board --

In the upper left of the CMD line Window, click on the black "C:\" icon --> Edit --> Mark

Then use the mouse to highlight what you want to copy to the clipboard

Press ENTER

Move the mouse to where you to paste and then CTRL-V

Right Click in the command prompt > Click "Mark" > Click and Drag over what you want to copy

Now you can paste this text with Ctrl+v.
