Anyone else have this issue? 
I can no longer drag a rom (or any file) into LB to start the import dialog.  (i just get the 'can't move that here circle stop sign symbol thing')

I can still import them through the menu though it's just slightly annoying as I do alot of swapping.

hmmm. more investigation needed. 

I presume it's related to permissions, I got the "operation requires elevation" error for the first time after this update too.. Even though i am the only account, and set to administrator.

It's on a partition of my system drive. (F drive in my case) at F:\emus\lanchbox

LB is portable isn't it? does it matter? I've used it there since like version 4! no issues.

Ok, I've found they are related.  it's now one or the other. If I disable run as admin, I can drag in, but then trying to launch games (seems to be just ones that use retroarch)  I get the elevation error. 

No one else had since 7.12?

Update; It appears all programs need to be run from the same hierarchy. Retroarch was set to run as admin also, so when neither are set, I can run through launchbox.  lets hope there's not a situation where I need to run one as admin then! 

Is that a bug then, or a windows 10 'feature'? that drag and drop is disabled somehow under admin???

Simply when you are running LB as admin Windows Explorer doesn't have permissions to add games to it. It has been mentioned by Jason before that it isn't recommended to run the program as admin.

ok. i only enabled it because I was getting the elevation error and found a post from last year where Sentai Brad solved it by saying to enable it. I might go back to that post and leave a comment in case anyone else finds it and has the same issue.
