Mathias (Author):
MC do not have much control over the context menu. MC get the context menu items from Windows.
Might be that some shell extension are only registered for normal users. so maybe that is why they do not show up when running as admin.

Yes logging in as Administrator is disbaled for a reason. It really bad, Try a normal account with admin permission.
I notice some things do not work on administrator account since they are running in different contexts. Problably becuse of some security reasons.
Might be able to unlock everything in group policy.

You can not drag and drop from a program running in with low permissions to one that is running with high permissions (as admin), it is a security thing in Windows.

Thanks Mathias, I guessed it was probably Win10 & not MC.

I am the only user, my a/c is the passworded <name>/admin a/c.  I have not allowed any other guest etc a/c's. 
Booting without password doesn't give me/anyone full access. 
'Users' group has zero permissions.

So I have full permissions, but programs installed & run by me in this single environment might not....  ::) Not logical or helpful. 

In the example of Handbrake & MC (both running in an admin environment but not admin mode) I can load a file using the 'open source' (browse) dialog, but not drag n drop.  Only possible when MC is in Admin mode.  ??? :o

I think M$ needs to streamline this muddled, contradictory & illogical behavior.  >:(
Full admin control is potentially dangerous but as sole user that should be my call.

Anyway I will keep poking about & see if there is some buried switch that I can use to improve this situation.
