How to enable Windows 11 Taskbar drag and drop feature
Microsoft’s new Windows 11 operating system comes with a few big changes in terms of user interface and user experience. The company has removed some useful features for the taskbar to simplify the user experience, including the drag and drop feature.
The taskbar drag-and-drop feature allowed users to drag and drop files to open them with a running app. There is a possibility that the company will bring this feature back to the Windows 11 operating system, but there is no timeline for that.
By the way, if you want to get this feature back on your computer right now, there is a way to do it by installing a file downloaded from Github. In this step-by-step article, we will show you how to activate or bring back the Taskbar drag and drop feature on your Windows computer.
