This is a distinct Windows desktop terminal bug, not the same as the image-paste issues in #3397.

I did not find a user keybinding override or system-wide remapper causing it. Right-click paste / Edit > Paste may be worth checking as a workaround path. Related Windows/input handling issues in Codex: I am in Windows, but i uses ps, git bash and ubunto and the copy and paste images is not working with ctrl+maj+v #2597 Image paste/drag-drop issues on macOS: inconsistent behavior with Cmd+V and Ctrl+V, multiple file paste/drag-drop, unclear UX, etc #3397

I second this, having the same issue
