Everything from Cortana to WordPad is on the chopping block after a year of feature deprecation.

This is blatantly false, I use Windows 11 at work, and it most certainly works with drag and drop.

I like shitting on Windows like most people, but let's do it for real reasons, like how you need to mess with the installer to bypass the needless Microsoft account crap, or the new context menu that not only is worse in it's features, but also suck from a UI perspective.

I don't know about you but I was used to move files between programs, or the folder tree and now I can't.

I'm sitting here with Windows 11, right now, dragging files back and forth into the folder tree, and into programs.

People are right about the address bar, though. That has been made much worse. The worst thing for me is how much gaps there are, so the leftmost part doesn't fit, and you can't tell which disk or share you're on.

I guess there is something else in my case. But now in the best cases I can copy paste, and other times I have to navigate through the save dialog until the folder where I have to save.

Maybe your work computer has propriety security software on it to lock this stuff down?

We have many Windows 11 machines at the office, I work in the IT team, and we have never heard about this issue.

What I would recommend is turning off fast start up and restarting your computer, a lot of weird ceap like this is caused by fast startup.

It is a shitty feature that lost relevance when we moved our boot drives from harddrives to SSDs.
