As we noted in our Windows 11 review, this is an operating system that will continue to evolve and improve, so check out our guide on how to download Windows 11 if you want to give it a try. In the meantime, Microsoft has been adding more features to the Windows 11 taskbar, such as a new icon for quickly muting your microphone, which is a great addition that improves the security of people’s devices. So, while we remain baffled at Microsoft’s decision to kill drag and drop features from the Windows 11 taskbar, we have to give the company credit for listening to its users and righting those wrongs. By using a pretty intuitive method, it will barely take you any. This is useful if there’s something you don’t like, and as we can see, that feedback can be used to help shape Windows 11 in the future. TaskbarX is a tool that lets you move and place Windows taskbar icons wherever you like. While early 2022 may seem like a long way off to wait for a feature that should have launched with Windows 11 back in October, at least Microsoft appears to be listening to its users and adding drag and drop functionality.Īs with Windows 10, Windows 11 features a ‘Feedback Hub’ where you can tell Microsoft what you think of the operating system and its features.


As Research Snipers points out (opens in new tab), there’s reference to drag and drop functionality coming “after the Christmas holidays in Redmond,” which coincides with when we could expect the Windows 11 22H1 update. To fix the taskbar in case it bugs out as shown above, right-click on the taskbar and click the Taskbar settings option.
