I assume that's elevated? Because drag and drop to / from my mapped drives on the NAS (A:, B:, X:, Z:, P:, V:, ...) all work with unelevated Explorer windows.

You are probably right about that. I just know that it's a pain the way mine is setup.

It was working for me. Perhaps because I had the UAC dialed all the way down and something changed in the way that works.
I followed the suggestion by GreatMarkO to turn UAC completely off through the registry. Now I can drag-and-drop again and I am still able to run the built-in (Store) apps - Photos, Weather, News, etc.
I think I will go with this setting for now.

It is: elevated Explorer can't drop onto elevated notepad. I suspect you are right, and it's user context thingy.

Makes me feel safe - though I don't think it is as much a security-feature, but more a speed-optimization.

I've first run into exactly that months ago, so I doubt it can be attributed to a recent update, unless OP has just recently installed whatever (now) old update introduced that "feature".
Every once in a while, I'll launch Notepad elevated, because I want to edit my hosts file. Then I try to drag the file from Explorer (which isn't elevated), and Notepad will refuse to do anything with it.
Solution: Use the elevated Notepad instance's File/Open, or launch Explorer itself as an elevated user. Then D&D will work. I've learned to live with it.
Bottom line: It's not "new", and whether it's "problem" is up to one's interpretation.

It is new to me and I have not been postponing any updates.
I have a habit of drag-and-dropping XML files into Edge when running certain tests and that was working. I drag-and-drop files all the time into Visual Studio as well, which I also have to run elevated.
Launching Explorer elevated does not allow me to do it either.

But what about everything after that?
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Ha yes, every thing after as well...
But while the first few chapters are full of surprises... The rest is just cool!

I signed up - eventually, it didn't like my email anti-spam filter - and downloaded it.
And I've already got it and the next three in the series ...

Do it. I've read both. Very different books, but both fun.

I can strongly recommend all his books. I started with Redshirts, then the Old Man's War series.
They are not without things to be picky about, but the characters are just nice to spend time with. And, in common with Starship Troopers, you rapidly work out that maybe you're not on the "good" side...
