    Cannot drag desktop Icons- highliting to cut/copy and paste Not workin


    Windows 10 64 bit Pro
    Vers 1909
    Hi,
    I cannot drag the desktop Icons. all I get is the context menu pop up. The icons stay put..I unchecked the Auto Align & auto Arrange. Also when highliting many photos/files to copy or cut.When right clicking the highliter (Blue) disappears.So copy/Cut and paste is not working as it should either. I did a complete reinstall of Windows. I also have had the keyboard replaced.. (Faulty)This was happening before the replacement.All drivers are updated.. Also tried hitting Escape key. Ran Malware scan with Malwarebyte..Nothing that I have tried,works. Any sggestions would be helpful.Thanks.

    :)

  2. Unable to cut and paste or click and drag files in Windows 10

    Thanks for those suggestions. Unfortunately no errors detected and no change in Explorer re cut/past and drag/drop

    When you say 'check for add-ons' where do you suggest looking please?

    Move an Icon from the Taskbar to the Desktop?


    You can drag and drop icons from the Apps list or Start Menu to the Task Bar or the Desktop. A copy of the icon will be dragged to the Task Bar or Desktop and the original icon will still be in the Apps list or Start Menu.

    You can also find the .exe file in the File Explorer and right click and copy the .exe file. Then right click over the desktop and paste shortcut to place an icon on the desktop.
