Unable to drag and drop images into Adobe XD on Windows machine.

Hello Adobe Support,

 

I've been working with our IT department because my Adobe XD software doesn't allow me to drag and drop images into Adobe XD. I have to manually import them and then mask the images with shapes. I have been following your support forums, and we updated the GPU on my laptop and we're still running into issues. I am receiving a canceled symbol when trying to drag the images into XD. I am running Adobe XD on Windows 10. I can provide any specs you need to help troubleshoot.

 

Thanks,
Rosendo Figueroa

Hi,

I also had this issue and it's looks like more of W10 related problem. Fortunately this solution helped for me:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system

hope it helps.

I fixed the same issue on my PC. This is the instruction (tested on Win10):

1. Open start menu and type in search field "Control panel". You need classic view.

2. Switch view to "Small icons" using "View by: Category" selector in the top right corner.

3. Go to "User accounts"

4. In pop-up select "Change user account control settings"

5. Set value as shown below and click "Ok"

6. Restart Windows and enjoy.

For those who are under some domain rules in corporate environment, I open regedit and here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

change EnableLUA to 1 … after restart I can drag and drop between Windows Universal Apps. But after another restart my domain overwrite this and have to do it again.

So better ask your admins to solve this for you on domain server side – I am not that lucky.

Hi Ashraf,

 

Thank you for sharing the details asked by Italo and sorry to hear you are unable to drag the images into XD. I am unable to reproduce the same at my end on my machine and I am able to drag the images fine. 

 

Would you mind telling if you are opening a specific file in which you're trying to drag the image? Is it possible for you to a share a short video of your workflow for better understanding?

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Ashraf,

 

We're so sorry for all the trouble. Could you please try the steps shared on this discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/can-t-drag-images-into-xd/td-p/9205660?page=1

 

If that doesn't work, I'd request if you can log in to the Hidden Admin account (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfbMs3w-Z3s&t=53s) and check how the application works.

 

Regards

Rishabh

This video shows how to enable the hidden administrator account on Windows 10. This works for Windows 8 and 7 seven as well. Here is the command to enable the hidden administrator account net user administrator /active:yes Here is the command to disable it net user administrator /active:no
