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

    This is so annoying! I hope it will soon be fixed, drag and drop was so handy.

    This is crazy. Hopefully it was an unintended artifact while update the UI and it will get back in the code very quickly!

    Microsoft waht have you done to the Windows Explorer? No drag and drop to address bar, no option to quickly change the properties of multiple files through the Details Pane etc? Please restore these handy options that now will take more time and clicks. And if there are equally fast alternatives, please share.

    Doing both is the best option.
    Bringing the issue to places like here makes it accessible to search engines, and you can find out whether there are solutions or workarounds.
    Win+F may get it straight to the teams, but it's a black hole - The rest of the world can't see how big an issue something is.
