Application that was launched with everything does not register drag n drop events

[username]

Take a look at the video https://files.catbox.moe/3woe2h.webm
You can see that when I launch application in regular way, drag'n'drop works, but then I launch same application from everything and drag'n'drop stop working.

I'm not sure but it looks like bug is only reproducible for winforms applications, since another 2 applications that had this issue are also winform applications.

Below is the C# code that I've used for test

Is Everything being run "As Administrator" (rather then using the Everything Service)?

I'll say it wrong, but you cannot d&d between a User level & an Admin level application.

Re-tested both "As administrator" and regular user, same result.

(Then I'll assume it has something to do with the C# code, but others will have to look at that end.)

Thank you for the video and code.

This issue is most likely caused by running Everything as administrator.

Standard-user windows cannot communicate with administrator windows. (User Interface Privilege Isolation)
This includes drag dropping.



Please check if Everything is running as administrator:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /debug
• IsAdmin 1 is shown at the top of the debug console if running as admin.
• IsAdmin 0 is shown at the top of the debug console if running as a standard user.

To hide the debug console:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /debug

Programs you launch from Everything running as admin will also launch as admin.



Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Please make sure Everything is running as a standard user:

• Right click your Everything.exe or a shortcut to Everything
• Click Properties.
• Click the Compatibility tab.
• Uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
• Click OK.

Thank you, it was indeed running as administrator this whole time.
Issue solved.
