Right-click on the title-bar of your cmd window. [Properties] - Options - check "QuickEdit Mode". Now when you right click, it will immediately paste. To copy, select the text you want and press enter.

You may also want to change the defaults for future instances. Same thing, but [Defaults] instead of [Properties]

In my windows 10 pro, the above mentioned properties are already set, but it still does not work. – Matteo

@nam: it's not Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. To copy a marked text to clipboard, press ENTER or right mouse button. To paste, press right mouse button. – Minette

Remote Desktop can cause issues with Cmd copy/paste as well. You might have to close and reopen to get the copy/paste to work, despite these settings. – Hyrax

@MacGyver: yes, changing [Defaults] changes it for future sessions (while [Properties] change it for the current session only) – Minette

Do what @Minette suggested. Afterwards, to copy some text, you need to select the text you wish to copy, and then right-click it. To paste the text, right-click where you wish to paste. – Toneless
