Windows 10: Can't drag files to icons on taskbar since Windows 11 upgrade.

I can no longer drag files to icons on taskbar since Windows 11 upgrade. For example, previously, I could be writing an email, and want to attach a pdf from a folder I already have open. I would open that folder by clicking it on the task bar, click and hold the pdf file, drag it down to the outlook icon on the taskbar, outlook would open the email I'm writing, and I drop the pdf into the email, and it becomes an attachment. Only 2 clicks necessary. That doesn't work anymore. It won't open outlook when I drag the file to the outlook icon. It won't open any of the icons on the taskbar when you

Pin Files to Jump List on Taskbar Items by Dragging?

I just got a new Windows 11 laptop. With Windows 10, I was able to drag folders onto icons on taskbar for programs that could open them--for instance, I could drag PDF files onto the icon for Acrobat PDF DC Reader, and make a jump list.

So far with Windows 10, I have only been able to open the file in the program, and then after right-clicking the icon in the taskbar, in the recent files list, pin that folder to a jump list. Can I simply drag the file itself, or will I have to first open it up, and then pin it from the Recent list?
