  I actually have the Daz3d website scene on the left of my screen and I have Windows 10 Exployer to the right of my screen.

  I have all sorts of tabs open and can slide images from MOST websites to a Windows 10 Exployer file.

  I can still right click and download an image.  I really didn't use to have to do that

  It's working fine for me in Windows 10 & 11 with Chrome, Edge and Firefox, though I never thought to save images this way, so thanks for the tip.

  It's called Drag and Drop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_and_drop

  It depends on separate code for "starting to drag" and "dropping the item" to be written for each application. In this case the first part is in the browser and the second is in the Windows Explorer application.

  Given the current state of Microsoft updates, I'd suspect they pushed something broken, but it could also be something else (I haven't updated Windows 10 or 11 in half a year)

  One thing that changes the behaviour of Windows Explorer in how it handles dropped items is if some of the state keys are held down at the same time: Ctrl, Shift, Alt. For example, holding Alt when dropping will make it try to create a shortcut to whatever you are dragging. Sometimes Windows gets confused about the state of these keys and you can try pressing Ctrl, Shift and Alt a few times so it gets back into the right state, before dragging something again.

  If that doesn't work you can try dragging the image into something else. For example if you have Notepad open you can drag the image into Notepad and it should paste in the URL / Internet-address to where the image is stored on the web (which you can then paste into your browser address bar to visit later). If it drops into Notepad properly, then there is probably something wrong with Windows Explorer.

  If you try a different source application, eg: Chrome instead of Edge browser, and it works, then it was probably an update to Edge that broke it.
