Copy Visual - Clipboard Item not Collected Format not Supported

Currently I am using the Power BI Desktop in company laptop. I can put excel files and create charts as I want. To be able to present the charts, I need to copy them to PowerPoint. Per company policy, I am not allowed to publish the data or use the cloud based Power BI Service. Therefore I need to copy paste the charts. This should not be an issue since I don't need the charts dynamic, static is fine with me.  

 

Now coming to my problem, I am unable to copy and paste. I can right-click the chart and then click Copy > Copy visual (1st Screenshot). However, once I click that I get the Clipboard Item not Collected: Format not Supported by Office Clipboard error (2nd Screenshot). After vigorous research I couldn't find a solution to my problem. In some forums/posts users advise using snippet tools when working with Power BI Desktop, though I can't go this route since the chart/s I want to use doesn't fit in one screen. I am perfectly fine with using workarounds if applicable, though obviously prefer direct solution.

 

I can provide additional information and screenshots if needed.

I need to find a way for this issue. This app is so useful and I don't want to be unable to use it due to some random minor issue like this.

Thanks in advance.

Are there any ways to adjust my table size so that I can fit in one page? It seems minimum spacing I can go for a line chart is 20pixels. And unfortunately it is not enough for me.
