Multiple BandiZip instances, drag'n'drop not working in parallel

I'm using Win 11 23H2 with Bandizip Pro MSE.

Today I noticed that concurrent (parallel) drag'n'drop from two different instances of Bandizip fails: looks like you can use drag'n'drop from two archives only one after another. Parallel extraction by drag'n'drop from 2 archives will fail, until first one has finished.

It happened to me while extracting on desktop by drag'n'drop a huge 6GB multipart RAR in two files... While extracting I tried to extract also another RAR and dragging the contents on the desktop always failed with BZ error: "Drag'n'drop failed. (Unspecified error)". Once first drag'n'drop operation ended, drag'n'drop from the second RAR was successful.

Is this a Windows/Bandizip MSE limitation? Is there a workaround for Bandizip for a better multitasking?

Ok, reinstalled standard EXE version and indeed it was a MSE-only limitation. Concurrent drag'n'drop extraction is not a problem with the classic exe edition.

Hello, this is Bandisoft.

Broadly, Windows is not designed to perform multiple drag-and-drop at the same time. This issue can be dodged on Bandizip but not on Bandizip MSE because of Microsoft Store's sandbox policies. We ask you for much understanding.
