Can no longer drag and drop a photo into photoshop. When trying to do this, I get a red circle with a line through it. I used to be able to do this but not any longer. It's so upsetting. I am running windows 11 and the latest version of Photoshop. Thanks in advance

Hi Jane, you were right!

Currently, dragging a file onto an app in the taskbar to open it in that app is not supported in Windows 11, but we appreciate all your feedback, and we’ll continue to use it to help guide the future of features like this.

Try creating a new Admin user account and run Photoshop from the new user account to see if the problem goes away: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/basic-troubleshooting.html#permissions
