Ctrl+V is the universal keyboard shortcut for pasting in Windows and most applications. Ctrl+P typically opens the Print dialog, not Paste. Alt combinations like Alt+P or Alt+V are not standard paste commands.

AI explanation

The universal Windows/Office keyboard shortcut for 'Paste' is Ctrl+V, inserting previously copied or cut content (via Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X) at the cursor location. This shortcut is consistent across virtually all Windows applications, browsers, and Office programs. 'Ctrl + P' is actually the shortcut for Print, not Paste — a common point of confusion given the letter P appearing tempting for 'Paste'. 'Alt + P' and 'Alt + V' are not standard system-wide shortcuts for paste in typical applications (Alt combinations usually trigger menu access keys instead). Ctrl+V is the well-established correct answer.
