Troubleshooting a Persistent Glitch: My Computer’s Copy-Paste Nightmare
Have you ever experienced an issue with your computer that left you feeling utterly helpless? I recently found myself in just that situation, grappling with a glitch that caused my computer to continuously copy text and files without any input from me. Here’s how it all unfolded and what I discovered along the way.
The Beginning of the Trouble
It all started yesterday when I noticed my computer was behaving unusually. Files and text would copy themselves seemingly at random, making it impossible to use my device effectively. After an initial restart, everything appeared normal for a few minutes, only for the glitch to return with a vengeance. Despite multiple restarts and even uninstalling the driver, the relentless copying persisted. Out of sheer desperation, I reached out to the community for help.
In my attempts to diagnose the problem, I unplugged my keyboard and utilized a different one, ruling out the keyboard itself as the cause.

To add to my frustration, I found that my laptop—which I used to download the same software and files—started exhibiting identical issues. It felt like a bizarre chain reaction.
Documenting the Chaos
In an effort to convey the severity of my plight, I recorded a few videos showcasing the glitch in action. You can check them out below for a glimpse of my chaos:
