I updated to windows 8.1 yesterday and now I can't drag anything. I have tried everything I think, but it won't drag..Restore would probably work but I don't want to that
My Computer
System One

- OS
- Windows 8
- System Manufacturer/Model

open a elevated command prompt and try SFC /scannow
maybe .
i installed win8.1 update yesterday and all seems ok for dragging and dropping for me , did you restart the computer a few times since the update
ware you truing to drag and drop ,what error message do you get when it fails
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 nowFYI, it works for me in Win 8.1:

No harm in trying the above so good luck.
i don't know of a fix ,if you tried sfc /scannow and it mad no difference ,not sure what else to try ,but if a lot of people have same issue and fix will come soon im sure ,I searched internet but find no people looking for answer to this issue with win8.1
in the meantime try creating a new folder on the desktop and drag and drop files into it if you need to have them on the desktop
