I can no longer copy or move files with Windows Explorer. This affects local drives as well as network drives. Neither Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V nor drag and drop works. I don't get any response from Explorer; it just does nothing.
No system extensions or any tools were installed since yesterday when it was still working as usual.
I've restarted
explorer.exe
and have tried rebooting the PC, but neither of these helped. I can successfully move the desired files on the network drive from a different PC.Creating and renaming new files/folders works, as does deleting. Gta modified download for pc.

I found out what was wrong:
The PC has Tera Copy installed, but the installation folder was empty. System integration was still active, but Tera Copy could not work any more. I reinstalled it and it now works again.

Try killing your explorer.exe processes and starting a new one with task Manager.
If that doesn't sort it out try restarting your machine.

I had the simililar situation here. In my special case it was a 'bad keyboard' which always pressed 'shift'.
In this case, I am asking you how in detail the situation is, when you're working with:
- CTRL + ALT + DEL
- Taskmanager > Explorer.exe > Kill > OK
- Taskmanager > Process > Start new > 'Explorer.exe' > OK
- WIN+E (press on keyboard) to start Explorer
- Mark some files on 'C:'
- Explorer menu > Edit > Copy
- Explorer menu > Edit > Paste
how does it looks like on every step?

Maybe the following setting has been changed. Open the Internet Explorer and then go to
Tools>Internet options>security>custom level and under miscellaneous see that 'Drag and drop or copy and paste' is checked enable.
Copying Multiple Folders In Windows 7

It's an odd problem but it has been happening quite a bit in Windows 7 lately (a bad patch at some point?).
Since you ARE able to copy from one system to another it seems like some sort of memory management issue on your system, and the computer isn't copying the document/folder/file to temporary memory before transfering it to the new location correctly. Meanwhile, when copying to/from a remote system, it's possible that the temporary files are stored differently.
Copy Subfolders In Windows 7
There may be a 'defective' system file that's causing the issues; try running:
Remember that you must be administrator to run this tool.
If that still doesn't get you anything, try disabling Aero and then try copying the files. To disable aero, open Control Panel and type in Aero in the top-right corner search box. This will come up with an option to 'enable/disable glass on windows'.
