    When will maximize window when dragged an item over the task bar work again in W11?


    In W10 it was possible to drag an item, e.g. a file over an item in the task bar and the corresponding program would then maximise and come to the front, so the user could drop the item in the target program. In W11 that no longer works. Will this feature ever be integrated again? I consider it very basic and quite essential, and it makes working with W11 very inefficient compared to W10. Now, you first have to put the two windows side by side then perform the drag'n drop and then maximise the window again with which you want to work.

    Sorting items pinned to the task bar

    In Windows 7, I could drag items to an icon pinned to the task bar to pin additional items (e.g. I could drag miscellaneous Excel files to the Excel icon pinned to the task bar, right click on the Excel icon and select the file I want to open as a quick
    link without cluttering up my desktop). In Windows 7, I was able to drag / drop those pinned items to sort them in a specific order (e.g. alphabetical). I seem to have lost the ability to sort those items in Windows 10. Is there a trick to it or is this
    a bug with Windows 10?

    Would like to reconfigure window dragging to drag when maximized.

    Hello folks. I have a new install of W10 and would like to set up the window dragging to drag when the window is maximized. It was the default setting on W7 but not W10.

    In W7, not only could I drag the window while it was maximized, if I just grabbed the title bar and moved it down a smidge, the window would un-maximize (as if I'd double clicked the title bar), I could also touch the mouse pointer to the top of the monitor I was dragging it to, and the window would maximize. If I didn't touch the top of the monitor, the window would stay where I placed it and not resize.

    W10, I cannot drag a maximized window, nor will it maximize if I touch the top of the monitor with the mouse pointer while I'm dragging.

    Can I change settings in W10 to make window dragging behave like it did in W7?

    Thank you.
