New Windows 11 build brings back taskbar drag and drop support
2022-02-16 19:16

Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 build with a long list of improvements and fixes for known issues for all Windows Insiders that will install the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22557, now available in the Dev Channel.

Probably the most awaited change is the revival of drag and drop support to the taskbar that allows Windows 11 users to drag and drop files between apps by hovering the mouse over their taskbar icons.

Another long-expected improvement is the revival of the folder thumbnail preview feature in the Windows 11 File Explorer that brings back content previews for folders.

The new Windows 11 build will also reduce energy consumption in Sleep and Screen Off modes when the computer is idle.

Similar to Windows 11 Home edition, Windows 11 Pro edition now requires internet connectivity.

You can find the complete list of changes, improvements, and bug fixes included with this new Windows 11 dev build in the Windows Insider team's blog post.
