I don't know if it has anything to do with the sleep mode, but my Windows
PCs only get restarted every so often when the RAM cache requires a clean
out. Sleep mode is never used as my PCs are effectively small servers, so
they are always "on".

I have had similar problems and continue to have intermittent difficulties
with the cut/copy/paste functions. Semi frequently LyX just "loses" the
ability to use the clipboard. Sometimes ctrl+v doesn't work and in the
lower left corner I get the message, "command disabled".

Other times the copy doesn't actually copy/cut the *LyX content* and it
only copies/cuts the plain text equivalent content (i.e. if a math formula
is copied then pasted, only the TeX code is pasted).
Like you I then have to go into the Paste Special menu to do what I need,
and possibly restart the program.

I have a strong feeling the problem is the operation of the windows
environment "virtual" clipboard. I thought in my case it was associated
with using remote desktop applications. The remote desktop applications
have to do strange things to get the Windows virtual clipboard to function
between the host and remote PC. I have nothing conclusive to offer though.
