Windows 10: How to turn off the dumb drop down grid of boxes that appears in Win 11 when dragging...

I have no clue what this weird thing filled with various sized boxes that drops down from the top of a screen when I move a program to a different screen. I can't even take a picture of it because if I take my hand off my mouse to take a screen shot, the thing dissapears. I just know that it has no name and no explanation of what the heck it's for. What is it called and how do I get rid of it? Windows 11 is filled with worthless "features", none of which are of any use. Microsoft should have just retained the Win 10 interface and made it more secure & reliable. 11 is worse than any prio

Drag and drop in Windows 11

Drag and Drop is now available in Windows 11 Beta Channel.

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22581 | Windows Insider Blog

Changes and Improvements

[Taskbar]

• Drag and drop is now supported on the Windows 11 taskbar. Quickly drag and drop files between app windows, by hovering over apps in the taskbar to bring their windows to the foreground. Try attaching a file to an Outlook e-mail by dragging it and hovering over the Outlook icon in the taskbar to bring the window to the foreground. Once in the foreground, drop your file into the e-mail to attach it. You can also customize your taskbar with your favorite apps from Start’s All apps list by dragging and dropping over the taskbar to pin them. You can also drag and drop to the desktop via “Show desktop” at the very right corner of the taskbar.
  

 

Drag and Drop

Hi Charles,

the steps you suggested didn't work for me but, when pressing the escape key it somehow expanded the drive and by using drag and drop to the single file in the list worked.

In the past I could drag and drop multiple folders onto the drive on the network computer(s). Doing it on individual folders will take far too long and time consuming and is not an option.

Microsoft should be able to identify what is blocking it and issue a fix.

My machine is multi boot so tomorrow I will try with Windows 7.

Many thanks for your help,

Deric
