    Hello, I read many users stating the taskbar drag and drop feature (dragging a file to an open program in the taskbar) was now implemented; I'm on build 22622.440 and this isn't the case for me.

    Is there any of you on the beta channel who can drag-and-drop on the taskbar? Is there any way to enable this feature via ViVeTool?

    Oh, I don't mean pinning to the taskbar, I want to drag a file (eg. a .txt file) and open it with a program that's currently minimized.
    On Windows 10 I could just drag the file to the open program's taskbar icon and the program would un-minimize.

    That's useful if you don't have the screen space to open both windows to drag the file from one window to another, and even then it's more convenient

    EDIT: I Have another Windows 11 PC on Release Preview channel (22616.1) and it's working there

    That works for Explorer, UltraISO and most likely for more different apps.

    Well, it does not on my PC on my current version (22622.440), I wouldn't have made this post otherwise

    Weird that it works for some though, thanks for the answer

    BTW does someone know if I can somehow enable this with ViVeTool?
