the new drag and drop media loader is not being found, it is still the old one

Are you running any Firewalls or third-party security software with Windows? If so, would you please try disabling those?

The only thing I could think of was my antivirus software.
I turned off my antivirus and tried it, but you’d think a third party tool would affect the Chrome browser too.
This change didn’t fix it either.

I did some more digging on this, and this actually appears to be by design.
The new drag and drop uploader utilizes HTML 5 uploading, so that no browser plugins are required. Unfortunately, IE and Opera are the only browsers to have not yet adopted support for HTML 5 uploading, so they fall back to the original “Select Files” button which requires either Flash or Silverlight.
