But there\u2019s a serious problem with it: It wasn\u2019t originally designed for typical Windows desktops and laptops. This taskbar was originally part of Windows 10X, an operating system designed for dual-screen devices\u2014one that Microsoft never released.<\/p>\n<p>So, when you ask why the taskbar lacks a certain feature, it\u2019s not that\u00a0 Microsoft\u00a0necessarily\u00a0<em>removed\u00a0<\/em>that particular feature. It\u2019s that Microsoft created a new taskbar and hasn\u2019t added all the old features back in yet. Perhaps it was just too much work to get them done in time.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drag_and_Drop_Isnt_Done_Yet\"><\/span>Drag and Drop Isn\u2019t Done Yet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\">On Windows 10 and earlier versions of Windows, the taskbar supports dragging and dropping files to application icons. This feature is often used by graphics designers to open image files directly in Photoshop and other image-editing applications, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On Windows 11, there\u2019s no more dragging-and-dropping files or anything else to taskbar icons. If you try it, you\u2019ll see a crossed-out red circle telling you a particular action isn\u2019t supported.<\/p>\n<p>You can still drag and drop a file to another application by dragging and holding it, and then pressing Alt+Tab or Windows+Tab and switching to the application window. However, the taskbar doesn\u2019t help anymore.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-756365 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/windows-11-taskbar-refusing-drag-and-drop.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Drag and drop failing on Windows 11's taskbar.\" width=\"650\" height=\"211\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So, why doesn\u2019t this work? Has Microsoft made a decision that this feature is bad and should be removed? No\u2014according to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.windowslatest.com\/2021\/09\/20\/windows-11s-taskbar-drag-and-drop-support-is-probably-coming-back\/\">Windows Latest<\/a>, Microsoft is experimenting with adding this feature to Windows 11\u2019s taskbar in Insider builds of Windows 11. However, this feature won\u2019t be ready for Windows 11\u2019s October 5, 2021 release date\u00a0and will likely have to wait until Windows 11\u2019s first major update six months later.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Still_Cant_Move_the_Taskbar\"><\/span>You Still Can\u2019t Move the Taskbar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another power-user feature removed from the taskbar is the ability to move it to any edge of the screen. It\u2019s now glued to the bottom of your screen, and you can\u2019t have it at the left, top, or right edge instead.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a shame because even Chrome OS and macOS let you move their taskbar equivalents (the shelf and dock) to another edge of the screen if you like. The Windows desktop should be at least as flexible as Chrome OS.<\/p>\n<p>We could try to guess a good reason why Microsoft removed this feature, but we think it just wasn\u2019t added to the new taskbar in time. We wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see it return in a future update\u2014we can only hope it does.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Taskbar_Should_Be_Getting_Better_Not_Worse\"><\/span>The Taskbar Should Be Getting Better, Not Worse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These may seem like nitpicks, but Windows should be getting better and more flexible.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of Windows users are going to upgrade only to notice that they can no longer use their drag-and-drop workflow anymore.<\/p>\n<p>People who have used the taskbar on the left for the last 20+ years are going to be stunned to see that option was removed, too.<\/p>\n<p>Windows is supposed to be a powerful, flexible operating system. It\u2019s a shame that, at a time when Apple is making drag-and-drop more powerful on iPhones, Microsoft is making it less usable on Windows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Drag and Drop Photos and Text Between iPhone Apps<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
