All,
I found one workaround for now for UNC path Drag & Drop issues to the Desktop.
- Map the UNC path first
- Drag & Drop the Mapped Drive to the Desktop
Best Regards,
Rob Daley

Hi,
I'm really upset of the new address bar because I can't drag and drop anymore files to parent folder like in old file explorer address bar
Can you fix the problem in a close future update or tell me how to change this back to old version (exist in windows 11 file explorer)
The new address bar is above the tools bar (New - Cut - Copy - etc), the old one is bellow
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Files, folders, and storage
