New Windows 11 file explorer can't drag and drop in address bar

My partner and I have been really confused and SUPER ANNOYED at this feature disappearing. BRING IT BACK!!!! I don't understand why you would handicap your own program by removing a functionality that saves users time and improves our experience?!

I also submitted my feed back.

Now you have to open left side menu to go to drive>folder>subfolder>subfolder.....etc.,

Before it was just one click, drag and drop to previous folder on Windows Exploder's address menu bar (intended no spelling error). Now I have to click to find the sub folder, then hope I won't drop the file to some disconnected network drive(which will free Windows for searching for disconnect folder) or different folder by mistake.

Very very annoying.

Oh, hell yeah, number 3 all the way. I've been experiencing all the same as you but that third one is probably the worst of them all. EVERY TIME I open my downloads folder it's switched to "Group By" which I always turn off. I thought I was going insane! Once I read it, I recognized that yes, I have been having all those problems. I think the new explorer is just a copy of chrome for localhost. The only real issue I have with Edge vs Firefox is that when I go to copy a URL, I'll click the end and then just flick the mouse to the left and it'll select the whole thing. In edge, if you leave the app window with your mouse, it loses focus. So completely and utterly annoying. Why'd they have to use Chrome? The could have just purchased Mozilla and kept it alive. Oh well. No sense fighting it. We don't get to choose anymore, there's Google and Microsoft and Amazon, that's it. Computers have been catering to the lowest common denominator for decades now. Grandma doesn't know how to move folders around her storage, Kathy at the front desk can't tell you the difference between copy and cut, Steve the CFO has named every single office document and folder he's ever created IN ALL CAPS. Those are who the new Explorer is for and if Microsoft's history has told us anything, it's that we don't get to retain "professional" options as industry professionals, even with enterprise editions. I mean, do I even need to ask if everyone here has modified their registry to show the Windows 10 style right click menus instead of icons that are never in the same place twice and require mental calculations to connect the picture to the activity? I know that's not just me, and my department, and a root GPO I made for company I work for.

Ok, perhaps, but what about the sticking drop down history from the address bar even when you have the option turned off? That's a stupid bug that goes back to the first release. I'm going to download a copy of 26100 today and give it a try. I'm expecting to be disappointed. I'll reply with my findings.
