      I’ve tried the following solutions I’ve read elsewhere…

      • Remove “Start In” directory from the file properties on the executable
      • Turn off “Run as administrator”

      I still cannot drag and drop files onto the app. When I was on Windows 10, I had no problems with this feature, but I just got a new laptop with Windows 11 and brand new install of Notepad++ and I cannot drag and drop to work.

      I’m running Windows 11 and Notepad++ v8.6.1.
