Windows 10: Mouse keeps stopping dragging midway

When I hold LMB and drag a window, a selection, etc it randomly stops the drag. It happens about 20% of the time, and I've had this issue for about 2 weeks now.It's definitely not the mouse. I bought a brand new wired mouse, and it still happens, even if I change the USB port. I even bought a wireless mouse, and it happens with that too.I don't think it's due to other software either. I didn't install anything just before this started, and I don't run many programs at once. I've checked the Task Manager and I can't see anything that wasn't there before this started happening.I just restarted

drag and drop stopped working

Hello MattRessBF, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

Down below I have listed a method that should help with your drag and drop issue.

Method: The solution: Left click a file, keep the left click pressed and then hit the

Escape key

When drag and drop doesn't work, left click a file in Windows Explorer or File Explorer, and keep the left click mouse button pressed. While the left click button is held down, press the Escape key on your keyboard, once. Release the left click mouse button.

If that solution didn't work then another possible issue could be with your mouse driver.

Thank you and good luck.

Touchpad: Tap twice to drag

Here's how it works standardly:

1. Tap twice
2. Hold down on the second tap
3. Move around and you're dragging
4. Release finger to stop dragging

Here's what I like it to do:

1. Tap twice
2. Hold down on the second tap
3. Move around and you're dragging
4. Release finger
5. Reposition finger and continue dragging by flicking the touchpad some more
6. (repeat steps 4 & 5 as many times as desired)
7. Release finger and perform one addditional tap to stop dragging

That's what it used to be like in the Windows 7 era with most touchpads. Some people found it annoying and disabled it, but I welcomed it.

I know dragging continues when your finger reaches the touchpad edges, but that I find greatly irritating because it looses all sense of precision. This mechanism is stupendously irritating when trying to pixel-precise drag a trackbar, or when doing some
painting in photoshop on the go. Or just anything that requires precision.

So I'd like to disable "drag continues at touchpad edge" and enable "require additional tap to stop dragging".

So how can I do that?

If not possible, then please consider this a feature request.
