Windows 10: If I left click and drag, the mouse randomly release over a folder dropping the file in the...

If I left click and drag something, the mouse releases the left button and then presses it again automatically. All within a fraction of a second.So, if I'm dragging a file to the desktop, the file will drag, randomly release over something like a folder dropping the file in the folder and then press again. In this example, now the folder is being dragged to the desktop instead.I've tried two different mice both Microsoft Mobile 4000 and they both do the same thing.

Drag and Drop

When using "Drag and Drop":

• "Alt + left mouse button" to create a Link/Shortcut
• "Ctrl + left mouse button" to Copy the file
• "Shift + left mouse button" to Move the file

 

Drag and Drop

The dual folder system containing shortcuts has been the same one in use since XP, (IIRC), I always preferred the drag and drop system that was available with older operating systems which are no longer available - It used to be a lot simpler I agree

The reason for an icon not being created correctly could be due to program installers that were designed for XP or Win7 etc or it could be selections made whilst installing, (as previously suggested).

I have heard rumours that an overhaul of the start menu is in the offing - due for release in part with the upcoming "Creative" Version, some of the things mentioned included an option to hide the full list and the addition of Smart folders which may be return to some of the control we've lost.

For ease of use when adding shortcuts I open two windows - the left to the Programs folder, (containing the shortcuts), and the right to the Program Files and/or Program Files (x86) folders.
Right clicking and dragging on an EXE file from right to left gives an option to create shortcut when released over the Programs folder.

Drag and Drop deletes pictures from folder.

On Windows computers, select a file or group of files, Left-click one of them and, holding down the left button, move the mouse cursor to the destination Window/folder icon and then release. Depending on context this will either move or copy the file(s)
as indicated by text and/or a symbol next to the cursor. That's what is meant by drag and drop - no menus involved; just drag the file to where you want it and drop it there.
