Windows 11 Build 22616 brings back taskbar drag and drop functionality

Yes, it’s time for us to talk about the new Insider Preview builds for Windows 11. If you're up to date on new operating systems, you'll know that Microsoft is rolling out a brand new build to the Dev and Beta channels today.

What's new, you ask? Well, this time we talk about more fixes and enhancements, as well as improvements to remove some system trays.

In fact, build 22616 returns the system tray to its state on public builds of Windows 11, which means that the highlighting consistency improvements have been removed.

What's new in Build 22616 for Windows 11?

You may also be wondering why this is happening. The Redmond-based tech giant said it was because of feedback from insiders.

Most likely, users are unhappy that the new system tray removes the ability to drag and drop icons on the taskbar.

So the ability to drag and drop icons is back. Now everyone is hoping Microsoft will try to figure out how to keep drag-and-drop and make icon highlighting consistent in the future.

Another notable change is that the build watermark in the lower right corner of the desktop no longer exists in build 22616.

Of course, there are other changes as well, as you're about to see from the official patch changelog.

Changes and Improvements

[Taskbar]

• Based on feedback from Windows Insiders, Microsoft has decided to temporarily disable the system tray changes introduced in Build 22581. The system tray, specifically the Show Hidden Icons flyout, now functions the same as it did in the original version of Windows 11, including the ability to rearrange icons in the flyout. We hope to bring these changes back in the future after further refining the experience by addressing some of the feedback we received. As we mentioned before, features we trial in the Dev or Beta channels may not always be released.

[Other]

• Previously, new Internet and MSA requirements for Windows 11 Pro were shared. Today, Windows Insiders on Windows 11 Pro will now require an MSA and Internet connection during Initial Device Setup (OOBE), which is only required when setting up for personal use. If you choose to set up your device for work or school, nothing changes, it works the same as before.

Fix

[General]

• In the latest Insider Preview build, we fixed a fix for explorer.exe Performance and reliability degrade over time, eventually leading to issues with error checking.
