I cannot drag and drop files into Designer, I have done everything I can regarding "Running as an Administrator", however Designer is still "Running Elevated"...
Even if I right click and "Run as Administrator", Designer always runs in Elevated mode...
I have been given local admin rights as a user (by my IT dept).
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Kevin

I think I have managed to answer my own question, and as such I have realised that I misunderstood someone else's post.
To be able to drag & drop:
DO NOT 'Run as Administrator'
And in Alteryx\Help\About should state "Running Non-Elevated"
You should now be able to drag and drop files straight into the Alteryx palette 🙂
Hope this may help someone else in the future.
Regards,
Kevin

I have the same problem, using Alteryx Designer admin, i cant drag and drop anything. My help and about shows me as "running elevated" but i didnt opt for forcing compatibility mode to have admin.

Same issue here, I have a non-Admin version of Alteryx installed and the Alteryx shortcut is set to NOT run as Administrator. Yet my ALteryx is still showing as running Elevated.
Really frustrating that there is no option to force the Non-Elevated mode!
