How to disable drag and drop in Windows 10?

How to disable drag and drop in Windows 10?

Those who have been working on computers for years are probably remembering the days when Drag-and-drop was not yet available, or as the Drag-and-drop developers call it. In those days, working at the computer and laptop, always looked the same, but years went by and software developers decided to introduce something more modern in their offspring than the actual result in the end result and the above function. All when dragging is good, but there are only situations where applications do not particularly perceive this function or if the laptops do not interact correctly with this function, then the idea comes about disabling drag and drop in Windows 10. That's only together with this thought, the user also comes to the realization that he will not be able to make this OS setup simply because the "ten" does not have any settings for it that would be available. But no matter how complicated the situation was, and the way out from it is almost always possible, and we will prove this to you ...

How to disable drag and drop in Windows 10?

  • You need to use the "Run" window, which is called by pressing "hot keys" Win + R. In the "Run" window, in the search field, you should register the "regedit" command, which will open the "Registry Editor" window.

  • In the "Registry Editor" window, we suggest you go through the following path: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control \ Desktop" and get to the last subsection, look for a couple of DWORD-parameters with the names: "DragHeight" and "DragWidth". Immediately, note that by default, each of the above parameters is set to "4". "4" means that the "Drag and Drop" function is triggered in any situation when the user of the PC drags 4 pixels, respectively, so that this does not happen, you need to increase the number of pixels to several thousand. The best option is 20 thousand pixels and as a consequence, you must replace the numerical value from "4" to "20,000".

  • Now, in order to make sure that you managed to disable drag and drop in Windows 10, you must restart the operating system and check everything in practice.

P.S. In this article, we essentially do not disable the Drag-and-drop function, but simply set it up so that it does not work. So it turns out that at any moment you can go to the "Registry Editor" and again put a numerical value equal to "4" for a pair of DWORD-parameters "DragHeight" and "DragWidth".
