Win11 Can't drag files into open app windows on taskbar

Dragging a file from File Explorer and dropping it onto an app icon on the taskbar no longer brings the app window to the foreground. The cursor displays a blocked indicator, preventing users from quickly opening the file by dragging and dropping it onto the app.

Restarting File Explorer does not resolve this issue. While this behavior is inconsistent, it is common in third-party apps.
