calc.exe issue

I cannot drag and drop calc.exe (from a .7z or .zip file) to any folder location from 7-zip file manager

I can extract zipped file, no problem calc.exe is also extracted.

But when I open zipped file contains calc.exe with 7-zip file manager, then try to drag and drop calc.exe to any location, nothing happens.

If I rename the calc.exe (to calc1.exe) in zipped file in 7-zip file manager, I can drag and drop the file now.

So calc.exe is a dangerous file name for Windows 11 25H2, I dont know if it happens in any other Windows versions.

Here, try this one... I can drag and drop this one from this ZIP file.
It came from C:\Windows\System32 ...on Windows Home 25H2.

@Ghot Thanks for interest.

I downloaded and tried with your zip file. And it is still same I cannot drag and drop calc.exe from 7-zip file manager.

I tried with nearly all windows' calc.exe versions.

In 7z and zip files result is same, I cannot drag and drop.

Even renamed blank text file to calc.exe, result is same.

!!!

I have found it why!!!

I have a bat/reg tweak

so if i press win+r to open run then give a calc command, i get classic calculator on my screen

If i erase that key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\calc.exe" from registry, I can drag and drop calc.exe from 7-zip file manager to any location.
