  1. Windows Explorer window intermittently won't drag in Windows 11.


    Hopefully I can be specific and clear here. Intermittently, I open a Windows Explorer folder window and I can't drag the window. I CAN drag and drop the files from that window to another window. But I can't drag the window across the desktop. I left click and hold as usual, but there is no response. I maximize and minimize, but still can't drag the window. After a few minutes, it's working again. I can once again drag the window. This is happening several times a day. It doesn't happen most of the time.

    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
