Running Brave as admin prevent file drag-n-drop

Description of the issue:
More than a month ago i had issues with Brave’s adblock, i found that in brave://components that brave fail to update lot of components, read somewhere that you should make brave run as administrator
I did so in the brave.exe > right click > properties > compatiblity > run as administrator
Since then i can’t drag and drop files anywhere,
Examples site : outlook; i love pdf

Running brave as non-admin sill prevent components to update

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Make brave run as admin in windows with brave.exe > right click > properties > compatiblity > run as administrator
  2. open for example: https://www.ilovepdf.com/merge_pdf
  3. try to drag pdf files from the Desktop to the ilovepdf website

Expected result:
The file(s) should upload to ilovepdf
