      I just updated N++ and I need to know if it’s an option or plug-in that I need to enable in order to drag-and-drop text from a web browser.

        How about giving something called “copy and paste” a try?

          When you update N++, it restarts as the Admin user; This causes several issues, one of them is that you can’t drag-and-drop to it from other programs.

          Once you’ve upgraded it, you need to shut it down and start it up again as a regular user, and drag-and-drop will work again.
