what are you trying to cut/paste? (You could also try the command line. It is more efficient when you learn how to use it )
Are you lacking permission to cut/paste? For ex: with normal/regular user login permissions you may not be able to read all files inside a given folder or paste into another. To solve this you could open the folder with sudo.
Well one of the reason maybe because your windows is not fully shutdown. Windows keep itself in hibernation mode to make the boot process fast so.
Once, try booting into the windows and turn off the hibernation for that open Powershell or Cmd as administrator and do the following code powercfg /hibernate off
