I'm unclear whether your user needs to see the screen that is "unresponsive". If it unnecessary, you might try letting the application run in the background after the main thread for this app is closed; or you may minimize the app.

If it is necessary to see the application and for it to appear to be working, can you segment your "copy to clipboard" function such that is is threaded and takes in either an array or the gridview and an index range. The advantage to this is that your main thread on your subordinate process would never hang. The disadvantage is that people don't like to work with threading and delegates in C#.
