This tutorial will show you how to change the drag and drop sensitivity to what you want for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
By default in Windows, if you drag an item by a distance of 4 pixels and leave it, it will result in a drag and drop operation.

Many people find that it is way too easy for them to inadvertently drag and drop files from one folder to another with a default distance of 4 pixels.
If you increase the distance to say 50 pixels, then you will have to drag items (ex: text, files, folders, windows, etc...) by at least 50 pixels before it can drop. This can be helpful...
