When did this start? Just now or maybe when something else was installed?

If it just started, try one or more of these:

The first thing to check, even if it's just to rule it out, is if you have an open dialog box in Photoshop.
If that's not it, try quitting and restarting or rebooting to see if it persists.

Hi

Yes, it should be possible to drag from Window File Explorer. Are you getting an error message? Try dragging from Adobe Bridge. Does that work?

Also, what do you mean by the "pictures folder"? Do you mean that's the view you are using in the Windows File Explorer or something else? Try another view for troubleshooting.

What software versions? I do not see your problem on my Windows 10 machine with Photoshop 2020 2020.0.3. Dropping an image onto Photoshop opened application window.
