Windows 11 is getting more attention in terms of taskbar bug fixes, and there have been recent rumors suggesting that a major change in drag-and-drop functionality won’t happen until late 2022.
Windows Latest has found that one of the key developments many requested in many requested jobs was the ability to drag and drop apps to the system tray for quick and easy shortcuts to frequently used programs, as we said before. progress, with Microsoft testing the functionality internally.
Microsoft sources say that this feature will be available in a preview in a few months, but that it will not reach the final version of Windows 11 until later in 2022; It will come as part of the 22H2 update.
Apart from that, Microsoft is also busy making small fixes to the system tray, including fixing an issue where the battery icon tooltip sometimes incorrectly displays a higher charge level. 100 %. This fix was applied with the latest preview version 22523 (released a few weeks ago), so it should be rolled out in a cumulative update soon enough.
Other solutions to remove system tray errors in this preview release include fixing an issue where app icons could overlap with the date and time on secondary monitors and the fixed a gremlin with the ARM64 PC that was causing the main system tray user interface (search box, start menu) to stop responding.
Analysis: Microsoft dragging (and dropping) its heels – but better late than never
The Windows 11 taskbar has received a lot of criticism for some of the changes Microsoft made to the customization of this part of the user interface and, in particular, for the loss of the sometimes simple drag and drop and core functionality for it. Windows experience. . , Let’s be honest.
As for the timing of the possible return of this feature, and keep in mind, this is only a rumor, and only the plans that are apparently underway at Microsoft at the moment (which could possibly change) is a bit of a letdown that we can’t be dragged and drop to drag again. In theory, not until much later in 2022.
Please note however that there is no 22H1 update because Windows 11 only provides important updates once a year, but it will take a long time, until September or October 2022 (or a more long time). for this feature to enable your frequently requested returns.
We were hoping that maybe Microsoft could fuel this breakthrough with some sort of up-front feature pack update or online service pack, as the company changed the name to Windows 11, but it doesn’t appear, drag and drop. Letting go will only be a test for the short-term future.
