Are you running Resolve as administrator?
Drag and drop from windows file explorer is not working for security reasons if you run an application as administrator.

I think Panagiotis means the other way round. With Resolve being run as Administrator you can drag and drop from Windows Explorer into the Media Pool. It works here.

I mean this

or this

If you run any windows application with "Run as administrator" enabled, drag and drop operations from windows explorer are not working, unless you disable UAC.
It's a known windows limitation:
