Windows 11 is all good and all but there are some small things that Microsoft skipped from Windows 10 that are important and useful. A few of these things are right-clicking the context menu on the taskbar and drag-drop files on the taskbar. These two features may feel like small changes but they made a huge impact on productivity at least for me. The lack of these two features made me revert to Windows 11 upgrade on my laptop back to Windows 10. Let’s talk about these features in detail and see how important they are for productivity in Windows 10.
If you are like me then you must have already understood what I am talking about but if you haven’t then let me explain it to you. The right-click context menu can be used to bring up the Task manager quickly even quicker than the Ctrl+Alt+Del hotkey. And the taskbar drag and drop is the coolest and most fast way to move files around folders and applications. I often drag and drop different image files in Premiere pro while editing videos and I do it pretty frequently lacking this feature in Windows 11 can slow down and annoy me simultaneously.
So here I have a perfect solution for enabling that drag-and-drop feature in Windows 11 and improving your productivity on Windows 11.
