Description

### Description

I am using a 3rd party program called Alt-Tab Terminator for switching between apps. When I try dragging a file from Files to any other app using this interface, it looses the files (does not drag them any more)

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Need alt-tab terminator (free version has the same bug) https://www.ntwind.com/software/alttabter.html
2. In ALt-tab Terminator selectd to replace the alt-tab with this program
3. Try draging a file from Files to any program switching with alt-tab (Alt-Tab terminator interface)

### Requirements

The expected behaviour is that it does not loose the files. If i Do this with file explorer the files stay at my cursor and i can drop them in a selected app.

### Files Version

3.6.0.0

### Windows Version

10.0.22631.3958
