Drag and drop problem in Windows

[Helmut243151150cd5]

I am working in a corporate environment on Win 10 (21H2) and the latest Adobe XD version (50.0.12.14).

I cannot drag and drop (or copy paste) any assets (jpg, png, svg ...) from Windows Explorer into XD and get always the "Forbidden" icon.

I read through the threads and found the solution with the registry key:

Setting Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA from 0 to 1 solved the problem and drag and drop works after a reboot. But the policy is reset with every login to my domain which renders the workaround useless.

Here is my question: This is a thoroughly discussed problem for many users in coporate environments that exists now for many years, but was not fixed by Adobe.

The change of the registry key is no solution because the key was set deliberately by our IT for good resons as they say.

Why is Adobe unable to provide a fix for it? Too complicated? The XD developers are too busy to ask the developers of PS, AI, PR or AI (drag and drop always worked and works in all other Adobe apps) how they have done it? The product managers ignore their customers?

So please get your product right and fix basic problems before of working on new "features".
