It doesn't give an error message. Whenever I try to drag a file on my desktop a black circle with a black line shows up under my arrow It moves when I move the arrow but that's it

Seems like many issues are cropping up after the 8.1 uopgarde and many are fixed via carefully executing the steps in this tutorial:

No harm in trying the above so good luck.

I tried all of the above and I still can't drag and drop on my desktop. I don't want to think about reinstalling. I really don't know what to do now
