Drag & Drop of files not possible any more if XYplorer is opened by Everything

Since a while (most probably since I updated to v26.70.0500) I cannot drag & drop files from a directory in first XYplorer window to a second XYplorer window.

This happens when I double click on a directory in well known, wide spread "Everything" search tool.
The XYplorer window opened by Everything does NOT accept drag & drop of files from first, previously, independently opened XYplorer Window.

Drag & Drop of files between first and second XYplorer window works if second XYplorer window is opened by first XYPlorer

Whats wrong?

Additional remark:

If I "cut" (via context menu) the file in first instance I can "paste" it in second.
Only drag & drop is the problem

This will happen when you run Everything with enhanced rights (as Administrator).
The other normal running XY can't drop into that higher priv process.

You should never run Everything as Admin, that's not necessary at all.
Install its service and run the client with normal rights.
