This seems strange. Is your copy of Windows modified in any way? (e.g. using Rectify11)
I made some gaming tweaks when i first updated to windows 11 like debloating, some registry and nvidia control panel optimizations from trusted sources but nothing like rectify 11 or uxtheme patcher. Some tweaks i made were from diriktv on youtube and others from https://github.com/auraside/HoneCtrl
I also experience the same problem, Windows 11 Pro 22H2, Dropshelf v1.0.4.0 Only drag'n'drop from the Files app works, but not from Firefox or default File explorer
@williamckha Could you please add some debug logs functionality in the application, so that we could see why dragged content gets rejected from non-UWP apps? I really like the idea of this application, but it's literally unusable for me because of this problem...

Frankly I'm not sure what I'd log since it doesn't seem like any exceptions are being thrown. But I believe I've found the issue... looks like it's an issue with the UI framework that Dropshelf uses (https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/7690). If you run Dropshelf as administrator, drag and drop seems to be blocked. Could you test running Dropshelf in non-elevated mode and see if the issue still persists?
Well, I never ran it in elevated mode, so it's probably not a problem in my case
I ran dropshelf from the .exe in file explorer and it worked I Think i tweaked my pc to automatically run everything as administrator so that's why it didn't work initially
I ran dropshelf from the .exe in file explorer
How did you managed to run it from .exe file, considering it can only be installed from Microsoft Store?
I used fluent search to open app file folder
here is the path : C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\371WilliamHa.Dropshelf_1.0.4.0_x64__k4fd9x13b0jec\Dropshelf
Oh, I see... Then I already tried that
I returned back to this topic and did a deeper investigation. I followed the instructions here and figured out Dropshelf was indeed running in elevated mode, no matter which way I launched it.
And then I managed to figure out the reason â at some point in the past I probably disabled User Account Control in my system, maybe following an instruction like this one. But little did I know that disabling UAC in Windows results in all the apps starting in elevated mode by default â I figured it out from this answer on StackExchange.
So, raising UAC level from 0 to 1 solved the problem for me, now Dropshelf works as expected. Maybe it would help someone.
