I can drag and drop on the desktop, and in Finder when in icon view, but when I switch to list view in Finder I am unable to drag and drop anything.
I've run First Aid in recovery mode and no errors were found.
I'm running Monterey 12.1 on a MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro processor.

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN
all known to cause issues on the macOS
To trouble shoot further you can:
—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/set-up-other-users-on-your-mac-mtusr001/mac
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

I did exactly as you said and the problem still exists.
FWIW, the only 3P software I have installed is QuickBooks and HR Block tax.
