Software drag and drop not working

4.5

You cannot drag files into the app or move items around within the UI.

Symptoms
  • "Prohibited" icon when dragging
  • Items won't move
  • Cannot reorder list
Possible Causes
  • Admin privilege mismatch
  • Feature disabled in settings
  • UI bug

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check Admin Privileges

If one app is running as Admin and the other isn't, Windows blocks drag and drop between them.

2

Restart Windows Explorer

Open Task Manager, find "Windows Explorer", and click Restart.

3

Check App Settings

Ensure "Enable Drag and Drop" is toggled ON in the application preferences.

When to See a Technician

Try dragging the file while holding the "Shift" or "Ctrl" key to see if it forces the operation.
