Failed to Drag and Drop a SW File from Windows to Solidworks

Hi all
small problem, I don't have the possibility to drag and drop a Windows 10 SW type file (Pro on HP Z4G4), in the Solidworks work window (Pro 2022 SP5.0)...
This puts me a forbidden icon, however in Excel, Word no problems.
I tried to repair the Solidworks, the registry, but still nothing, do you have an idea, a lead?

Hello

Is it a base file (slddrw, sldprt ,sldasm)?

Obviously this is a known problem of Win10,
Look at this article, you never know.

Yes these are basic files (slddrw, sldprt ,sldasm)...
I had tried these avenues but in vain, and for the record in the BE, I'm the only one to have this problem there, and I had restored the SW settings of an old PC, so I thought of a Solidworks setting?

If your colleagues have the same machines and SW version, have you tried to recover their configuration? (don't forget before saving yours of course)

Otherwise for the moment I haven't seen anything in the SW menus that allows you to manage drag and drop.

Yes I have tested, to recover the settings of another workstation, to reset, to repair SW, but not yet to reinstall the Solidworks...
I didn't see anything in SW's menus either

No, nothing in SW for me it clearly comes from windows.
Which default software opens SW files for you? Normally it seems to me that you have to SW Lancher (SW causes problems so it seems to me that it may be the pb to slip)

Otherwise I also found this procedure:

Hallelujah! it worked thanks to the corrections of the lizengo.fr,

I realized the "6. Run the SFC and DISM scans" and the "8. Edit Windows Registry",

and since the Drag and Drop to Solidworks works, a big thank you to all of you.

I'll put the subject in resolution.

I took the liberty of modifying, the correct answer was given by @sbadenis
