### Way 1. Run the SFC and DISM Scans

Firstly, the problems with drag-and-drop can be due to corrupted system files. Hence, you can run the [System File Checker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_File_Checker) (SFC) and Deployment Image Servicing Management (DISM) on your system. The SFC scan detects and replaces the corrupt files, while the DISM scan directly replaces these files from Microsoft.

The quick steps to run SFC and DISM scans include the following:

**Step 1:** Type "Powershell" in the search bar.

**Step 2**. Select the "Run as Administrator" option from the right-side menu.

**Step 3.** Type the command sfc / scannow and press enter.

```bash
sfc /scannow
```

**Step 4.** Wait until the SFC scan is complete.

**Step 5.** Now, type the command DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press enter.

```bash
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
```

**Step 6.** Wait until the DISM scan is complete, then reboot your system to check if drag-and-drop is functioning properly.
