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

    PLEASE bring back drag-and-drop from the address bar of file explorer!!!! It was extremely useful feature and I used it frequently to help navigate within file folder structures.

    Please don't be like Apple, i.e. removing useful features that people rely on for productivity.

    This is absolutely one of the worst change Microsoft did to the windows and actually pushing users to consider other OS. @Microsoft please bring that feature back as this is making moving around files like a complete mess.

    For some reason I was able to do it the other day. I just did about 5 different Enterprise installs.

    Probably will never happen again right!

    Comeon gents, do you need someone to show you how to make a P.O.E.S ?!

    Proper operating environment system.
