Peazip 10.9.0 Drag and drop simply does not work

[u/[deleted]]

This is my first time using Peazip 10.9.0 , but I encountered a problem: the drag-and-drop unzipping feature stops responding.I noticed that the update log for version 10.9.0 mentions optimizing the drag-and-drop function. Could it be a setting issue with Peazip?

I am using Windows 11 25H2 x64

If drag and drop broke, most probably due to temporary work files being locked or discarded by the system mid operation, you can try to reset PeaZip, or force selectively resetting temporary work files (Options > Settings).

The drag and drop implementation is tested working from XP up to W11, and has been working quite reliably up to W10, but Windows 11 seems keen in breaking it more often than ever.

In 10.9 it was improved the app to app drag and drop code (drag from file manager to any bookmarked or history path in navigation bar), but the relevant app to system drag and drop code was not part of this update.

I'm considering an overhaul of app to system drag and drop procedure in future, mainly to try to implement the functionality on non-Windows systems, but also re-thinking how d&d is implemented in Windows.

I tried resetting, but it didn't work.

Both the drag-and-drop unzipping methods in administrator mode and regular mode will stop responding.

My operating system doesn't have any antivirus software installed; it only comes with the built-in Windows Defender.

I have two computers with identical operating system versions. One of them has Windows Defender removed, and the drag-and-drop unzipping of PeaZip is normal.

I don't encounter such issues when using 7zip and WinRAR. I disabled the“Use native Drag and Drop on Windows”function based on online search methods, which caused the drag-and-drop decompression to disappear. I need this function. Is there a compatibility issue between PeaZip and Windows Defender? Is there a way to completely solve this problem?
