Installed v68 on a fresh install of Windows didn't work

I'm not sure how to react right now.... Earlier today, dragging and dropping to desktop didn't work, I tried to drag and drop a url on desktop, in order to check if creating a shortcut on desktop would work. It worked So, naturally, I tried to drag a picture and it worked....
I just called a priest, I think my PC is in need of an exorcism
