The title pretty much explains it all. I recently updated to Windows 11, and as I expected, I regret it, for numerous reasons. My biggest issue currently though is with my taskbar. I do tons of stuff...

I'm also having this issue, but found this solution in another forum and thought I'd share it as it worked immediately:
1) Press Windows + T to place focus on the task bar.
2) Press Arrow Left or Arrow Right to select the icon you want to move.
3) Use Alt + Shift + Arrow Left or Alt + Shift + Arrow Right to move it spot by spot
Obviously there's a deeper underlying issue with the inability to drag and drop to reorder the icons, but this workaround gets the job done in the meantime.
