Used to be able to create a list of file path shortcuts that are visible when you right click the file explorer icon pinned to the taskbar. The shortcuts I made in a previous version of windows are still present and functional. But it can’t add new ones. Best it can do is add another file explorer icon for each new shortcut.
You can still drag excel files to an Excel icon pinned to the taskbar, and it adds them to the single list of individual Excel files “pinned” to Excel.
It just doesn’t let you add shortcuts to the pinned file explorer icon anymore. I had a whole workflow based on being able to quickly and easily access a handful of commonly used folders and ms office files. Makes no sense to remove useful functions that already worked.
Afaik you can still download tools to revert to win10 taskbar. Not that I disagree it’s super dumb, I didn’t update for a long time due to the force merged taskbar icons. If I wanted to use gnome I’d use gnome. I want my 27 inches of real estate used, not to dick around with animations.
