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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I miss this feature as well.
I also don't like the new position of the refresh button (it used to be to the far right next to the address bar). Unnecessary GUI changes like that are frustrating. If you need to change the GUI for an enhancement, fine, but just randomly moving things around. We're all too busy to relearn where things are every time a GUI developer gets and itch to make a change.
Same problem here.
For everybody why will come to this page, please, press WIN+F and type this problem to developers, and send message to developers with description of this problem or just copy this "New Windows 11 file explorer can't drag and drop in adress bar".
So maybe they can hear about our problem.
Thanks!
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.
wotmate? still?
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.
