What To Do If Your Windows Mouse Suddenly Cannot Drag & Drop Files

Using the mouse to drag and drop files greatly speeds up the work on your computer. But what if the function suddenly stops working? What then is to be done?

This post presents various solutions to the problem. These are simple and quick solutions that anyone can try.

Run DISM Tool

Run DISM tool

DISM stands for Deployment Image Servicing and Management. DISM tool can help you deal with errors caused by corrupted system files.

To run this tool, you need to do the following.

First press the Windows key and search for “Command Prompt.” Then open the program.

Type these commands and hit Enter:

Dism / Online / Cleanup-Image / ScanHealth

Dism / Online / Cleanup-Image / RestoreHealth

Now restart your computer.

Perform a clean boot

Typically, applications and services that start and continue to run in the background are the cause of mouse drag issues.

This solution will reduce the number of software-related problems and help you understand the problem. To proceed, log in to your computer with an administrator account.

Press the Windows key, find Run and open the application.

Enter msconfig here. Then click OK.

Go to the Services tab.

Select the Hide all Microsoft services check box. Then click Disable All and select Apply.

Then go to the Startup tab and select Open Task Manager.

Close the task manager.

Then click OK and restart your computer.

Install Windows Update

Another solution is to let Windows Update help. Failure to update your computer when updates are available may interfere with normal functionality.

To continue, press the Windows key and enter Check for Updates.

When you start the program, Windows will check your system. It will tell you if you are updated or not.

If your system is out of date, Windows will inform you about it. From here you need to install all available updates.

Go to System File Checker

Go to the system file checker

This is another practical solution to your problem. Performing this type of scan allows you to view protected system files.

Enter sfc / scannow.

Then press Enter and restart your computer.

Modify Registry

Registry modification

You may also need to make some changes to your registry. The regedit team is your ticket to this.

One of its features is to allow you to automatically close an unresponsive service. Since the drag-and-drop function is not responsive, this command can help.
