Outlook Bugs?
Following the installation of the Windows 10 Anniversary update, some users are reporting that they are unable to drag and drop emails, tasks or attachments in Outlook. Microsoft is aware of the issue and is looking into it.
I don't know if it is related, but I was unable to copy and paste in Outlook for a couple of days but an update for both Windows and Office appeared to fix it.
Or maybe my issue was just the "updates waiting bug". I've noticed that Outlook often acts buggy when updates are waiting for a reboot and now make it a habit to see if updates are waiting when Outlook doesn't work right. To check if updates are waiting, open the start menu and click the power icon. The menu will say "update and restart" or update and shut down". I recommend updating as soon as possible, or when you notice Outlook acting goofy.
