Still cannot drop files to Terminal running as admin

[szx0427]

Windows Terminal version

1.20

Windows build number

10.0.19045.3930

Other Software

Windows File Explorer 10.0.19041.3758

Steps to reproduce

First, ensure you logged in as an ordinary admin account (I've not tested on the built-in Administrator account yet but I guess the problem will remain.)
Method 1: Set EnableLUA=1 (enable UAC), run Terminal with admin permission, drag a file from Desktop and drop it to Terminal.
Method 2: Set EnableLUA=0 (disable UAC), directly run Terminal, and do the drag&drop.

Expected Behavior

I am simply expecting drag & drop can work.

Actual Behavior

A cursor indicating "unavailable" will be displayed through either method above.
Such drag&drop is supported by the legacy conhost but not Windows Terminal. That's weird. Don't tell me this issue is a duplicate of #14946 or #15996 and that you have already fixed this in 1.18. I tested on both 1.18 and 1.20 only to find the problem remaining.

Notes:

For the tab dragging scenario:

• terminal/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/TerminalPage.cpp

  Lines 175 to 176 in 01e4df1

  	_tabView.CanReorderTabs(canDragDrop);
  	_tabView.CanDragTabs(canDragDrop);

• terminal/src/cascadia/TerminalApp/AppLogic.cpp

  Line 140 in 01e4df1

  _canDragDrop = ::Microsoft::Console::Utils::CanUwpDragDrop();

• terminal/src/types/utils.cpp

  Line 680 in 01e4df1

  bool Utils::CanUwpDragDrop()

But that's not file drag/drop.

That code references all of

• Run as Admin shortcut + elevate:true -> crash loop #13928
• Unable to drag/drop a file to terminal with UAC turned off #7754
• Prompt before launching commandlines when elevated ; cache answers in elevated state.json #11096

Can you clarify if the issue occurs when UAC is enabled /?

For us, when it's enabled, drag & drop into conhost doesn't work. In that situation, it's not expected to work for Terminal either.
