I know that question has been asked dozens of times now, but i have tried every possible suggestion i have found online - nothing worked.
I can't figure out how can I copy/paste from my Windows 10 to emacs(which is run through "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows"). If i copy text on my Windows i cant paste it to emacs by clicking right button of my mouse. I have tried pasting by using Shift+Insert, but it keeps toggling "overwrite mode" and not pasting anything. I have tried unbinding overwrite mode but i couldnt achieve it.
I have also tried simpleclip package and it shows me "Clipboard support not available" whenever I try running "M+x simpleclip-copy/paste/cut".
Can anyone please help me?

. You can switch on clipboard integration of XMing by some entry in the application menu (it is easy). If you manage to get clipboard support working in the X-server you get it for free in emacs (in my experience).export DISPLAY=:0.0
inwbash
. From my experience do not waste time on the terminal version of emacs but aim for the X11 version. I don't have much experience with the terminal version but there are again and again problem reports with that version here on emacs.stackexchange.com. If the last two comments really pin-point your problem I re-write them as an answer. But, at first I will wait and see if it is really a solution.
