I used to be able to copy images loaded in a browser screen like for example if I load this in the URL
I would just Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C on the page and it would copy the image and I could paste it in MSPaint or any image editor. I could also paste it into a Facebook post or any website that accepts images pasted into them.
But now I can't do that in any browser.
I have Windows 8.1 and the latest Chrome (67 64-bit), Firefox (60 64-bit) and IE 11 browser.
I have also tried this in Windows 7, and it also does not allow it anymore.

Why do you believe that it isn't copying the image? Have you examined the exact clipboard contents? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2018-06-11T01:42:27.433
1why don't just right click on the image > copy image – phuclv – 2018-06-11T01:46:00.463
is ctrl+c disabled in browsers now or is it just me? I can right click and copy image but I am so used to copy pasting using ctrl+c that it bothers me a lot. – fja3omega – 2018-06-11T01:57:53.433
@Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams It does not copy because I select the content of the page then copy it and then paste it in both mspaint, notepad and also in a wysiwyg editor (https://html-online.com/editor/) and there is nothing there. I copy from a text on this page and it paste it nicely in the notepad and wysiwyg. I select all and copy this page and it paste in the wysiwyg with the images and also on notepad but only the text.

Yes I know that. But there is no clipboard viewer in Windows 8.1 so i either use a text editor or an image editor to paste its content into. I'm just asking why copying an image is no longer working when I used to be able do it before. – fja3omega – 2018-06-12T03:18:07.760
