Click and Drag not working

Click and Drag not working, I have to click on an objects path and use the arrow keys to move anything,

Anyone know how to fix this?

 

Cheers

PREFS  RESET WIN (other)

Quit Illustrator

Press Win+R -> appdata -> Roaming -> Adobe -> rename folder "Adobe Illustrator XX Settings"  to anything else like "Adobe Illustrator XX Settings_old"

Is Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display > Object Selection by Path Only selected? If so, does unchecking help?
