Also, even though you've looked at permissions, it may be worth double-checking that your user account has full control permissions for the Calibre directory and files.
Lastly, you might want to see if there's an issue with the specific file types you're trying to drag and drop. Are all types of books not working, or just specific formats?

Yeah, I did that. There was a Logitech mouse thing added, but it was a week before it all went wrong. The last successful drag and drop was on the 21st. As for permissions, I run Calibre as admin and I am the owner of the Calibre folder and all contents with full privs. Still, sometimes Windows finds new ways to block stuff...
Epubs, azw3 and mobis all have the same problem and they are all I care about.

Go into Task Manager and disable everything in the Startup tab and restart - assuming drag-drop works, enable the top half of the Start up list, if drag drop works the culprit is in the bottom half, else its in the top half. Rinse/repeat until the bad actor is found.

Obviously. Using msconfig and task manager, I turn off ALL startups and all services (not all can be disabled). D&D does not work. But it works in either safe mode. There is a difference, obviously, but it's not clear how to address that.
I've also run driverquery to check for new drivers, but nothing has a recent date.
I am about to decide to make a copy of the Calibre database and settings, then gut Calibre from my system, registry and all, and reinstall (yet again).
