Drag and drop for images is irresponsive

[12xq4]

I have encountered an issue regarding drag and drop of images into the editor. Currently when I mouse over the editor with any photos the cursor is disabled and dropping photos into the viewport have no effect. Meanwhile, the console does not display any additional log.
I am using a x64 Windows 10 PC with GTX 970 GPU, and I built Alice Vision with Visual Studio 2015.4.

Did you manage to understand and fix the problem?

Hi yea, apparently the solution to this issue is to run meshroom from Powershell (the non-admin version). Would love some explanations.

Did you run Meshroom as admin? If yes, that's the cause. Windows disables drag and drop on applications being run as admin.

helped. After installing the tools drag and drop worked for both non-admin and admin.
