Microsoft has done away with the drag and drop functionality that was present in previous iterations of the taskbar in the new Windows 11 operating system. Before Windows 11 was formally unveiled, there were numerous press reports and discussions about it. The two most talked about Windows 11 topics are the updated and the new features that have been added to it, as well as functionality that has been eliminated or reduced.
Many Windows 11 users are unhappy with Microsoft’s decision to discontinue support for drag and drop on the taskbar. Some users are even considering switching to Windows 10 because they realized that Windows 11 doesn’t support drag and drop, which has a big impact on how often they use computers. Users can no longer move files in the taskbar after upgrading to Windows 11 (or an app pinned there). Also, they are unable to pin an app to the taskbar just by dragging and dropping it to the taskbar. Below are ways to enable drag and drop in Windows 11????????
