Pin to taskbar option disappeared in Windows 11, why?

Moving pinned items on Windows 10 taskbar

Thanks for your reply.

Just in case this was a result of a poor description of the problem by me, I will explain in detail.

I have Excel permanently pinned to the taskbar. When I right click the Excel tile, the context menu shows a list of Pinned items at the top and Recent items below that. I believe these are called jump lists.

When I hover over an item on the Pinned list a push pin (), overlaid with a no entry sign (), is displayed to the right of the item.

I can click on the pin to unpin it from the pinned list.

Under Windows 7, I was able to left click on an item in the pinned list and drag it up or down to a different position in the list. This drag and drop functionality has never worked for me under Windows 10. As I noted in my original post,
the only way to resequence pinned items it to unpin all items then repin in the desired sequence.

Do you know if the drag/drop functionality will be re-introduced in the Windows 10 anniversary update?

 

Need 'Pin To Taskbar' Option ...

This has been discussed before... Pin Any File To Taskbar in Windows 10

To pin any file to Taskbar (but Windows doesn't allow it), you have to:
-rename the file (say into file.exe)
-make a shortcut, and pin it to Taskbar
-open shortcut properties, and in "Target" rename the file back to what it was i.e. file.bat
-rename the original file back to file.bat (before you click apply in previous step)
