After installing the following update last Tuesday, I've lost the drag and drop feature in SQL Server Management Studio:

2025-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5051987)

The mouse drag'n'drop is completely disabled on SSMS, the icon turns into a circular forbided red sign, even on the view designer, while I can still drag'n'drop on other apps, such as the new Outlook, Visual Studio, File Explorer and other apps.

After uninstalling the update KB5051987, the problem persisted on SSMS, but then noticed that this only happens when SSMS is opened on the external display, on the laptop's display drag'n'drop works fine. Haven't reinstalled the KB yet.

Drag'n'drop on SSMS is something on which I rely a lot, so would like to find a fix for it.
