Windows 11 KB5037853 out with File Explorer features (direct download .msu) | Laptop News

Windows 11 KB5037853 optional update is now available with many new features, including drag and drop support in the File Explorer address bar. This update can be downloaded from Settings > Windows Update. In addition, Microsoft has posted direct download links for KB5037853 offline installers (.msu) on the Update Catalog.

KB5037853 is an optional update, and it won’t download on your device unless you manually select “Download and install” on Windows Update.

Microsoft sources previously told Windows Latest that the drag-and-drop feature was removed in Windows 11 23H2 because there wasn’t enough time to enable it in the new File Explorer design.

Microsoft shipped a new design for File Explorer in 2023, but the design did not support the drag-and-drop capability in the address bar. Microsoft told me the feature would be added back in a future release, and the company is finally delivering on its promise.

If you download and install Windows 11 Build 22631.3672 or newer, you can drag a file to another folder using the address bar. It’s a pretty basic addition, but many users couldn’t live without it.
