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

They fixed this in the latest update! Thank you!! This just made my day!

Got a new similar one!

You used to be able to click and drag an attachment from an email in outlook down to the bottom right of the screen (to the show desktop shortcut) so that you could drop the attachment on the desktop.

Much faster and easier way of dealing with info in my wokflow and used this all day every day for literally years.

That's no longer possible as of a few days ago.

Microsoft Copilot was aware and had a clear answer, told me the feature is not available in latest outlook/Win11 and said it could understand how frustrating it is when software developers like Microsoft remove productivity tools and make their products harder to use.

I'd laugh if I want so bitterly angry with Microsoft. All these bad and careless changes make every day harder and longer - the polar opposite of what they claim they aim to achieve and the polar opposite of what they supposedly exist for.

When you drag the attachment to the desktop hotspot, do you drop the attachment there or does the desktop show and you drop it on the desktop? I'm not going to get into saving files to the desktop, I'm not even touching that one, at all, but I tried doing as you do and when I hit the hotspot with my attachment, the desktop clears and I can drop the file anywhere I wish. Is that not the expected behavior?
