Some photos can be moved and some not.
The photos marked by the red line can be moved into and out of the folders you see. The photo marked by the green line won't drag. Attempts get me a circle with a black line through the circle from 5 o'clock to 11 o'clock.
Why can some be moved and others can not and I've never noticed this until today. I did drag 9 photos out of the pictures folder and onto the desktop. I can not move the one marked with the green arrow. (?)

Both are the same in properties and in advanced. The photo of the damage to the house is movable. There are images of maps in that entire picture folder and they can be dragged.

Yes they copy paste and both have the same owners in security. All of these photos were "saved as" from wherever. Others are photos from a digital camera and some are screen shots that are pasted to Paint and edited in some way and then saved to the pictures folder.
Have you restarted the computer recently?
Can you try a different mouse?

I don't see that on my Windows 10 Pro machine. Is that a Server Property?

A sample of 5-6 photos were able to be dragged to the desktop today.
They did not on Tuesday but some did on Wednesday.
Today the startup seems to solve it.

That seems to be the issue. Thanks for the update.

How do I get back to the "best solution" and "assisted" closing format?
They changed the system so you need to enter a support question.
ASKER
Classic view is not seen on my web page though it is mentioned in the thread about closing a question.
I was testing certain actions since the article on closing had steps 5 and 6 after the first 4 steps.
It says the question here is solved.
It is but the points are not. This needs to be changed back to not solved pending classic view.

Is classic view for closing a question no longer active?
Nick, i also find the new makeover less than good to say the least...
Are you able to close now? You can assign 1,000 points each to the best 3 answers if you wish.

I see the 1-2-3-4 steps on the left.

thanks
So now no assist on the information I provided to you

I proceeded through the steps and see no way to award points.

Yes I did.
I marked the top comment which mentioned "restart" and then chose other comments as helpful.

You need to ask Southmod to help you. Awarding points at random is not very helpful.
The system is broken and Helpful is not a substitute.

John:
Support initiated TeamViewer and the conclusion was that:
The member who is chosen as the solution, will receive 1000 points and on their end it will be seen as the best solution.
You and David were selected as being helpful.
I was told that each of you see 500 points on your end as being assisted.
On your end and David and Fred's end you all see the classic green > best > assisted > and receive those points.
I see none of that on my end.

One thing to keep in mind, in case this happens again down the road... For a while, keep track of what apps you touch your pics with, including any camera or phone apps that move them to the PC. One of them may have a bug, that's not closing them correctly, which may have caused this issue in the first place. Windows is also often responsible for not clearing in use flags, so make sure you have everything up to date.
Select one you CANNOT drag and do the same thing.
Please post both results here.
