This happens because menu-bar.el defines the sensitivity of "Paste" as
follows:
(define-key menu-bar-edit-menu [paste]
`(menu-item ,(purecopy "Paste") yank
:enable (and (or
;; Emacs compiled --without-x doesn't have
;; x-selection-exists-p.
(and (fboundp 'x-selection-exists-p)
(x-selection-exists-p))
kill-ring)
(not buffer-read-only))
and x-selection-exists-p with its argument omitted probes the PRIMARY
selection, which doesn't exist on MS-Windows.
I can easily fix that with an MS-Windows specific change, but I'm
actually surprised we don't call (x-selection-exists-p 'CLIPBOARD)
here: isn't C-y supposed to yank from the clipboard, not from PRIMARY?
If we use 'CLIPBOARD, the code will work on Windows without any
changes.
Am I missing something?
