System tray icon issues on Windows 11 Insider Build 22581.1 in Beta Channel
So far I have run into two new issues with the system tray icons with the Windows 11 Insider Build 22581.1 released in the Beta Channel. 1. I'm not able to move system tray icons around as before...
Apparently you can't move icons by design (including dragging to the hidden icons area):

We'll be continuing to monitor this feedback, but with the updates we made for the new tablet-optimized taskbar in Build 22563, we're no longer supporting dragging icons between the system tray and the show hidden icons flyout. Instead, you should use the Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > System tray section to manage these icons.
DrBobNZ Agreed, and I'd ask everyone coming here for a solution to go to you link and Upvote the feedback hub issue!
- Good idea - will be interesting to see if MS reverses this change (in other words, if they fix what they broke)
