    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disable add-ons and check if it helps.

    Hi,

    I'm really upset of the new adress bar because I can't drag and drop anymore files to parent folder like in old file explorer adress bar

    Can you fix the problem in a close future update or tell me how to change this back to old version (exist in windows 11 file explorer)

    The new adress bar is above the tools bar (New - Cut - Copy - etc), the old one is bellow
