    File Explorer Scrolling while clicking and dragging


    I recently updated to Windows 11 version 22H2 and I can no longer scroll in file explorer while "holding" a file by clicking and dragging. For example, if you have a folder with a large number of items, you arrange it by name, you want to move file zxy.txt into a Folder named ABC. You'd normally grab the file, scroll to the top of the window then drop it into the folder.I've noticed the same problem in Outlook, if I select any number emails then click and drag onto my Nav pane looking for a different folder to move it to,

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Unable to drag and drop in file explorer

    Hi Lorne,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to perform System File Checker (SFC) scan.

    Step 1: System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    To perform SFC Scan, refer to the below link:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    If the issue persist follow the step 2.

    Steps 2: You may try to restart Windows Explorer and check if it helps.


    • Right click on taskbar.

    • Then select task manager.

    • Find Windows Explorer process.

    • Then Right click on
      Windows Explorer
      .

    • Select restart.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

    File Explorer Scrolling while clicking and dragging

    Scroll bar keeps resetting in Windows File Explorer.

    For some reason, when I'm browsing a long list of files, if I stop moving my scroll wheel for a few seconds, the scroll bar in the file explorer jumps back up to the very top. Which is annoying when I'm browsing a folder that has hundreds of files in it.
    This only happens in the file explorer. Any suggestions?
