Microsoft says Windows 11's taskbar won't get drag-and-drop, by design

PCWorld reports that Windows 11 users can now reposition the taskbar to four different locations, but only through the Personalization settings menu. Microsoft confirms this is a deliberate design choice, as drag-and-drop functionality has been intentionally left out to prevent accidental taskbar movements. Users looking to move their taskbar should expect a manual settings process rather than the simpler mouse-dragging method familiar from older Windows versions. Windows 10 users can easily move their taskbar using drag-and-drop with the mouse.
