Windows 10 build 14316: Ctrl + v doesn't work on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
Why don't you guys just Right Click? here is how to enable copy and paste:

Check the box that says Quick edit Mode, and you are set!
Good day!
-- Activate Quick Edit mode, then mouse left-click is select text, right DOUBLE-click is PASTE
The main issue, I believe, is that cmd.exe isn't dealing well with the bash environment. By itself the new cmd.exe actually does support Ctrl+v but whilst running bash, it doesn't.
My workaround is to use ConEmu. It's much superior to cmd.exe alone and even gives you color highlighting when running bash. I've tested it and Ctrl+v does work. As a nice plus, you get a tabbed terminal.
Starting with at least Windows 10 Insider build 17643, you can use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste if you enable it in the bash options:
